Haha. With your knowledge of MW boxing history, this is a ring endorsement, Swag ;)
I doubt it. On the whole newspaper reports, including their decisions, influenced public perception of how good the fighters were, which were...
You're welcome mate and I wouldn't describe the discussion as frustrating for me, I've enjoyed it thus far, it's been quite revealing.

If newspaper decision bouts don't have any impact on how you rank fighters all time, then yes, I agree, you should limit your all time rankings to...
Do no decision fights that didn't end in KO impact how you rate fighters from an historical perspective? If so, how,? Or do you rank them EXACTLY...
