    I have decided to do a ESB Classic Forum Pound for Pound Tournament. I have included the 41 fighters ranked in people's top 10s when Rumsfeld did his 2011 survey.

    For the sake of not clogging up the board, and making it a bit faster, I will be using multiple fights in a thread, with multiple options for people to vote. My votes will not count, other than to break a tie. The draw is seeded according to Rumsfeld's results.

    All matches are to be judged over 15 rounds at a neutral indoor venue in (for arguments sake) the mid 1970's.

    I appreciate matches are mythical and potentially could lead to making a judgement over who wins a pound for pound between a 100lber and a 230lber. So use what ever (other) criteria is needed to make your personal judgement.

    Robinson is one of the only men I'd pick over Roy Jones, bad draw for him.
