    I have seen worse top tens than that. Langford should be above Greb.

    It is one of the better lists. Obviously there's a few discrepencies, as with any list of this sort.

    Not a bad list although i would replace Walker (Mickey, not Ray) by Charles or Moore. I don't know that much about the depth of Fitzsimmons resume and the 1890's so i can't really tell for sure if he belongs there.

    Where's Willie Pep? A boxer that can win a round without throwing a punch must be extraordinary. And that Willo the Wisp certainly was.

    I believe Charles deserves to be there more then Burley he went 2-0 against him and has better wins also won the heavyweight title.

    I would put Charles and Moore higher and lower SRL, also where the Hell is Willie Pep, he should be # 1-2-3- and Benny Leonard is another Ignorant overlook
