    Pretty disrespectful really that Langford, Greb, Charles and Whitaker weren't even mentioned considering, Walker, Moore and Chavez where in discussion

    That's a lot of well dressed people not knowing what they're on about.

    Sky and ESPN are both pretty ****.

    The truth is with a lot of these classic fighters you have to dig deep to really appreciate them.

    Langford really grabs you once you've researched him.

    Truth be told i'm not entirely clued up about greb. Atleast not enough to put him above fitzsimmons, robinson, louis, langford and armstrong.

    As for charles i'd say he's a solid top 15 using any criteria.

    IMO the locks for the ten are Charles, Greb, Armstrong, Robinson, Langford, Fitzsimmons. I personally like to see Ali in there aswell, but I wouldn't insist upon it.

    i'm good man, you?

    I can't remember specifically tbh Sean but I remember thinking it was bordering on the cringeworthy when I watched it. Aren't they in disagreement on how many times Chavez fought Rosario or something at one point?

    it's just a farce the way they haven't even thought it through, it's like they're a gang of fans just wanting to talk about boxing but they haven't prepared to actually be on tv and inform the public
