Thanks, well I was going to do another one tonight and then make the thread. With any luck it'll change the way people rate fighters like Ray...
Hilarious. But actually I'm doing this for a lot of fighters so we have records to compare (I was going to condense them into a single thread at...

I wouldn't go that far, I'm sure you could find a place for him at about #90 alongside Lew Jenkins.
Usual disclaimer; the following list contains fighters who were rated in the RING's top ten at one point or another, separate list contains Hall...

His opposition wasn't great but on the contrary, I think he looked brilliant against them (most of them). The same is said of Wilfredo Gomez and...
Forget pound-for-pound? 'srr.' :think I doubt Ray Robinson would have beaten Sonny Liston. Unless that's not what you meant, in which case...
Yeah I was thinking of Hagler & Hopkins as I wrote it - but then justified myself by knowing they were better. I don't think Steele was all that....
Rodriguez UD15.
