    Hm, true. Looked it up. Well, somehow I put them at mw, seems I got mixed up with the Burley fights.

    So now you must have Charles 1 and Moore 2 then if they were even on the prior 160 pound assumption.

    LMAO! You TOTALLY discounted Charles three wins over Moore in the 175 rankings as you thought they were at 160 and now they count at 175 it's not enough to swing your previous even rating of the two?

    Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


    :lol:

    The problem you have with Moore at this weight is that Charles, who has a better resume anyway, beat him 3 times.

    If Ali beat Louis three times, or vice versa, there would be no more argument.

    Come on, you heard the man, he prefers Moore over Charles so any semblance of common sense and uniformity can go take a jump!

    In other breaking news Hearns has moved to number one Welter of all time and just cracked the top 3 P4P list in history!!!! Rosario moves to top 2 at 135 and local yocal Jeff Fenech moves into the top 10 P4P as well.

    I don't think it is fair to give Tunney credit for beating Loughran when there was no official decision and the newspapers split on who won. Also, Loughran was a teenager when he fought Tunney and in his early fights with Greb.

    Some posters already know my thoughts here, there is no argument for Moore at number 1 imo.

    But i must say i have become more fond of him recently, fondness can enhance a fighters' greatness!!!
