...........I have to admit this is a list comprised of mostly fighters I've never seen, but only read about. I'm sure seeing a few more of some of these may sway me, but there's only so much time.........

 

I have never made a top 100 list, so the following highlighted names are more assumptions. The ones highlighted in red are certainties, those highlighted in blue are possibilities.

Panama Al Brown, never seen him. Great 30's fighter.
Jack Non-Pareil Dempsey, Hard to judge with out film. Same mold as Greb, but he could be top 100.
Terry Norris, agree
Pancho Villa, He is top 100 imo. I think relly high on Villa, enjoy his fights with Wilde and Buff.
Billy Petrolle, If there was no Ross, Canzi, or McLarin, he would be view in other light.

Khaosai Galaxy, He is there imo.
Les Darcy, top 20 imo.
Benny Lynch, underated, top 30.

Buddy McGirt, agree
Davey Day, agree
Fidel La Barba,agree

Rafael Herrera, agree
Effren Torres, agree
Jimmy Barry, agree
Jose Legra, agree
Johnny Saxton, agree.


Ok most of the agrees I have not seen film off, but I did my best.

 

The problem is they just retire or comeing back lol. So I wait for SURE, before I add them to the top 100 perhaps, but they will make it perhaps.
I like Barrera, Morales and Pac. I can see them making the list with retirement.

Jack McAuliffe beat a few good fighters, retire unbeating, and yes did get lucky, BUT he was a one of thsos early legends, also hard to rank because of the lack of film, his prime was the 1880's lol. So that relly hurts his standing in the eyes of media or moden rankers, but I try to put history and some what skills as one, of couse my list is not base head to head as it is all guess work in that department, we cant get todays fights right half the time lol. What makes us think we can get two fighters from other eras in these dream matchs right?

 

Carp could be there, expect I a am a bit bias against the French of couse.

 

I'd say he is arguably top 100-somewhere in the lower half.

He would definitely make a next 100 on accomplishments.Depends how highly you rate him head to head.He's quite an odd fighter stylistically and fought a good level of competition that kept him from being too dominant.

The kind of fighter that will split opinions most of the time, not all that different than Monzon in that respect.
