    Regis Welch and Harry Keck, two of the better Pittsburgh boxing writers of the day made it clear Harry trained like a maniac for the big name opponents but could get caught asleep at the switch in a case like the Solder Jones fiasco.

    OK. I have Langford, Greb and Robinson in my top-3. Armstrong has a good case but I don't think quite cuts it. But entirely debatable and not a bad choice. Number five is quite obviously Henry Maske.

    Fitz is solid but doesn't beat Greb. Put a gun to my head at this second and..

    1) Langford
    2) Greb
    3) SRR
    4) Armstrong
    5) Fitz

    I want to put Duran up there but he's more a top-10 guy...

    300 fights in 10 years, he had to be in shape.
