    Rummy, you have too much time on your hands (I'm grateful, don't get me wrong).

    I'm curious about Liston. People have very strong opinions on him one way or another. I'm a little surprised to see him as high as he is, I guess. I had him at #9, curiously, but many others do not feel the same way.

    Doesn't make a lot of difference if you switch to a 10 to 1 system. I added up Marciano and Holmes, obviously the closest. They come out with Holmes one point up but Bogart moves Marciano into a tie in a 10 to 1 system and a one point win in your system.

    Good thread this. I'm struggling who to leave out: Dempsey or Frazier, hence no input. :yep

    I'll have to then and blame you when Dempsey is left out. But with Mr Magic's and Mine added, Joe will no longer be in the official top 10 (if Post 91 is correct). :good
