    Those work for me. Although you might be able to swap out somebody in there to squeeze in Bob Pastor

    Who is Kim Braddock? Was she the wife of Jim Braddock? She must have been pretty good for the boxing commission to sanction the fight between her and Joe Louis

    2. Jersey Joe Walcott 2
    3. Billy Conn

    Lewis was half blind that i do know so he wouldn't be in my top 10 despite his tremendous Light Heavyweight record

    He's a very dangerous, much-avoided typo.

    He was apparently half blind the whole time though.

    Lewis with lasix is the GOAT of boxing.

    I tallied yours as the same as mine. If you want to tell me who you would switch, I''ll change and answer to Pastor. Thanks!
