The only place the register differs is that I have Armando Muniz top 10. Honestly I could make a thread with everyone against top 10 guys if people really wanted.
How about the rankings of Bunty Doran, Joe Curran, Rinty Monaghan, Jackie Paterson and Peter Kane's oppo'? :hey
ah who'd read it. Just you and me HoI. Just you and me. Henry Armstrong 33-12-2 Emile Griffith 36-17-1 Ike Williams 33-15-1 Archie Moore 44-15-4
Got 29-12-2 for Henry Armstrong, though I'm sure a few slipped the radar. Williams and Griffith... WTF. atsch Robbo 44-13-2 After a 37-2 peak. :|

Its very instructive. Williams lost his last 5 or 6. Those records are actually very good. Most guys don't sniff 30 wins. Burley didn't, Carlos Ortiz had about 21. The only three guys who have 40 wins against top 10 guys are Robinson, Charles, and Moore. That's elite company.
For Robinson I have Pete Lello (typo?) Ranked in 41, Ralph Zanelli in 43, Jannazzo in 44. Curcio is unranked in mine.
I don't know if you feel like wasting (Investing) the time in doing it, but I would prefer to see the records against top 5 opponents. Maybe even top 3.
