    Has anyone ever done a computer ranking, including the "Black Champions" of the late 1800's, early 1900's, of all the Modern Heavyweight Champions?

    The computer boys are always taking American College Football and working backwards to create National Champions in arrears...and some of them get recognized by the respective schools it benefits.

    Maybe. I have seen the computer rankings that were complied by an IBRO historian who passed away a few years ago. He had his own website. Can't think of his name right now, but they included fighters from the 1800's to present. Something like 800+ fighters were listed.
