    i have seen people rate canzoneri over ross, one person would be historian burt sugar

    but ross edged canzaneri twice

    what would be the reason for people to hold canzoneri over ross?

    Here are some reasons:

    1. Canzoneri had a superior wins resume to Ross.

    2. Canzoneri was a little naturally smaller than Ross.

    3. Canzoneri arguably beat Ross.


    Personally I rate Ross higher, (largely due to the fact that I think he beat Canzoneri and also that he was a little more consistent than Canzoneri) but I really have no issue with someone ranking Tony higher. I think both need to be fairly close to each other though...
