    I think under "other possibilities" I'd put Tim Witherspoon ahead of some of those men listed.

    I agree it was a great era. More depth than the 1970's if you ask me. I would not list Golota. What big fight did he ever win?

    In his "real" resume his best victory could be dann nicholson or an old tim witherspoon, but i have him winning against bird and ruiz.
    I ranked him for his two bowe fights
