    1910 vs. 1960. I matched the 1960 Ring magazine annual ratings from 1-5, vs. what could be viewed as the 1910 annual ratings.

    Which group do you think takes it under the following rule set: 15 rounds, 20 x 20 ring, 10 point must system, liberal ref for fouls/clinching. Each seed much face each other.

    Johnson vs. Liston

    Langford vs. Johansson

    Jeannette vs. Machen

    McVey vs. Folley

    Jeff Clark vs Cooper

    How is Liston #1 in 1960? The title was passing between Patterson and Johansson at that time. Liston wasn't #1 until '62.

    He's not listed in this thread, even though he is the champ.

    I thought you were doing a ranking v ranking comparison?

    I would be fairly confident of Langford beating Johansen, McVea beating Folley, and Clark beating Cooper. The rest of the matches could go either way. I therfore give the edge to 1910.

    I doubt if Clarke was top 50 in 1910, still close edge to 1910'ers.
