    Kenny Norton ate his blueberries, and that's all! Blueberries, I say!

    Also ultimately didn't draw the Color Line, so that's not a disqualifying condition either.

    I nominate Burns for new favorite hipster heavyweight. Do I hear a second...?

    Burns is sometimes underrated among linear champions, but overall he's not even close to top 10. His resume isn't that strong and some people didn't even consider him a true champion.

    I wanted to offer people as many voting options as possible, because I don't know whose criteria they are.

    All right. Annnnnd we're off and running again! For openers, Tommy was obviously sick and far past his best when he was beaten by Jack Johnson.

    He’s just mad because his hero is 0-2 against him. :lol:

    James J Jeffries, or John L Sullivan would be far more defensible picks.

    I never claimed he is in terms of greatness, given that he never fulfilled his potential. I rank him between 6 and 10 all time.
    However, I have Tyson as no. 1 when it comes to H2H.

    With Ingo at 1 and Louis at 2, there isn't anywhere else to put Holmes but 3.
