My dozen, in no particular order: Liston Duran Langford Sanchez Fitzsimmons Gans Wilde Ketchel Hearns Frazier Choynski Foreman
I find it difficult knowing where to place Ketchel and Sanchez, for example. We longingly wonder what could or would have happened. Which other...
My recent heavyweight list has Bowe at 12. I rate 75% h2h and 25% resume. Controversial :)
Well I guess his prime weight was around 170 (I always add on a couple of pounds for the guys who didn't do same-day weigh-ins). So I would give...
I have him at 34. In and around Fitz, Corbett, Jeanette territory.

1. Gans 2. B Leonard 3. Duran 4. Armstrong 5. Whitaker
Certainly neither is a top-10 type of a guy, but I have Whitaker a few places higher.
