    That would make more sense for credibility.

    I certainly couldn't do it past a basic list. I don't know half as much as I'd like to know about Moore.

    Sure, with a good few of them. I tried not to list them in order of popularity, but rather how good an opponent they were at that stage, which is why the likes of Bert lytell and Bobo Olson are so far down. Although admittedly it was a very half-assed attempt at doing so.

    Im pretty sure Mclarnin or Greb would be top of this list. Not just on opposition faced, but opposition they hold wins over also.
