A quick show of hands for P4P rankings

For me it would be Gans noticeably, Duran noticeably, Ketchel noticeably and RJJ by a bit.

 

The only one in question i think is RJJ and Hearns.

 

Idk, but I feel I lean towards Moore a bit
Tough, but Duran
Hearns
Ketchel.

 

Joe Gans

Roberto Duran

Tommy Hearns

Stanley Ketchel

 

ATM
LaMotta over Ketchell
Roy Jones over Tommy Hearns
Duran over Gene Tunney
Joe Gans over Archie Moore

My opinion could very easily change.

 

I'm very happy to help with info, though because of personal issues I'm not doing a ton of research ATM. I just get a bit low in mental energy. I'll try and get back to researching Wilde though.

Senya, Janitor, McVey and others have a lot of good info too, night be worth making a thread, so you can ask for info.

I'm decent at finding stuff, but I haven't been in the game as long as others, and it shows in some of my gaps in knowledge.

 

Gans
Duran
Jones, Jr
Ketchel

 

Nelson's stock seems to have dropped a lot, he seems to have used to have been much higher regarded. I'd put him behind Gans and McFarland. I don't imagine I'd put him in my top 50, though maybe top 100, I think he'd certainly be in the running. Though I've never done a list, so who knows?

A lot of the early ones, Sullivan, McAuffle etc. are really hard to rate, there just isn't as much info. McAuffle (along with way too many others) is on the list of ones I need to dig into.

 

Agree to all. Great minds, bro.

 

Archie for me (close)

Duran by miles.

Roy by a good measure

Kethel
