    I would think Tommy Farr might be in the mix somewhere?

    Tommy Farr's greatest performance is a really good losing effort. Turpin has a win over one of the greatest fighters of all time. Placing Tommy above guys like Buchanan, Welsh etc. is not possible either.

    Although I do remember doing a 20 and Farr made it in.

    I remember when, during the Williams-Fraudley fight, John Rawlings apologised for comparing Joe Bugner to those two! :lol:
