Actually during their time, here's their top ratings: 3. Al Ettore - Dec. 1935 to Feb. 1939 (23 months) 3. Ford Smith - Sept. 1935 to March 1936...
Johnson was a very good boxer and I believe he would have given Rocky some problems BUT I believe Rocky would have caught up with him in the end....
As you are pointing out, their really wasn't much here at that time. Nino Valdes was rated #1 at the end of 1953 & 1954. After losing 4 in a row...
