Alright Ladies, I know Smith did the Heavyweights, the light Heavyweights and then the (great) idea died a death. IMHO this was down the hectic schedule of of the threads, we'd get 2 weeks to rank one division then straight away we'd be asked to rank the next. For anyone who put a decent amount of thought, time and effort into their picks this got to be a chore rather than the casual labour of love that it should be (well thats how it felt to me!!). So.......what I propose to do is resurrect the idea but relax the pace a little. I'll leave the Middleweights open until Monday 6th Jan, take a couple of weeks 'off', do the Welterweights at the start of Febuary and continue down the divisions over that sort of timeframe. Hopefully it'll make it a bit more fun for people. The rules and regs are the same as the original idea, to be considered a fighter must have EITHER been born in Britain OR Eire ORhave fought for a British title. Please rank 10 fighters, the scoring will be as follows: 25 points for your #1. 15 for #2. 12 for #3. 10 for #4. 8 for #5. 5 for #6. 4 for #7. 3 for #8. 2 for #9. 1 for #10. Cheers Gaz
nice one just some names for consideration Bob Fitzsimmons Tony Sibson Alan Minter Herol Graham NP Jack Dempsey Chris Eubank Nigel Benn Michael Watson
Not really mate, I'm going to give each division 3/ 4 weeks and then have another 2 week break before the next one. I think, even just doing the HWs and light HWs, people felt a little 'burnt out' going straight from finalising one list to starting another. I think a break will let people regain their enthusiasm for the idea after spending a few weeks putting their last list together.
Burnt out I totally agree mind, I got the feeling it started to become a chore for me to produce a list I believe in and researched. It takes a bit of effort to do it properly.
Im probarly too young for this thread i just remember being a little boy and idolising benn and eubank!!! so the rest would be a guess for me. Some useless info for yous all and thats me sober too
The boxers records are all on Boxrec. This won't be just a thread of rankings, the fighters/ records get discussed and debated (well, hopefully!!). Age is no excuse, GPater is only 9 and a half and I guarantee he'll put together a decent list!! Get stuck in!!
Greg is a certified Fitzsimmons nuthugger mind. Imagine if Fitzsimmons was fighting today, Gregory would be the biggest ballhugger bar none ! He'd match Rooney's manlove for Mayweather. :yep
I thought about using boxrec but its hard to compare as i wouldnt know who was who but ill give it a bash anyway. (and maybe see other peoples list 1st!!)
Hey, I made a thread similar to this, the day before the great idea was sprung:blurp: This content is protected
yeh nice shouts there yeh, Fitzsimmons is a long shot aint he, might nto make it on my list! wow, it was my tenth birthday in October :twisted: At least it is someone great that i nut-hug, thing that annoys me is you get Mayweather, Pacquiao etc... nuthuggers that might not know much about boxing or other ATG's. At least i do know about them and actually as much as i love Fitz i dont completly say he is the P4P number 1 when i feel there are 10 better fighters than him, possibly. Anyway, i think im fair with my rankings. Also if i have spent alot of time researching Fitz why cant i be a nuthugger?
