    And speaking of Young,...I don't want to hear any more **** about "sticking his head out of the ring".....he beat Foreman, Lyle....beat Lyle again in a near shutout with a beautiful boxing performance...and got screwed against Ali and Norton...
    If he wasn't one of the slickest heavyweight boxers of all time, then there weren't any slick heavyweight boxers.

    Billy Conn deserves a mention, as does Jersey Joe Walcott.

    Whilst I'm at it: Guillermo Rigondeaux - the guy who is the best in boxing today and would beat anyone in history at 122lbs other than maybe Wilfredo Gomez.

    Gomez would have fractured him....as much as I like Rigo...Gomez would have destroyed him.

    Yeah, Gomez would beat Rigo IMO. But hey, I can't say the same for any other fighter in history which emphasises how great Rigo is in my book.

    I really hope to see Rigondeaux move up. We get it, he's better than any 122lber today - that's set in stone. I don't need to see a Moreno, Yamanaka (those two fights would never happen), Santa Cruz fight. Time to fight the 126lbers (Lomachenko would beat Rigondeaux at 126lbs).

    Chris Byrd chinless?
    :rofl
    Byrd had a good chin. Jimmy Young was not a better fighter than Chris Byrd.
    I hope you were talking tongue in cheek.
