    I've been working for years on my top 50 heavyweight list (yup... I'm sad... I love boxing lists). The usual suspects fill the top spots. But, for other (obviously sick) like-minded individuals, who do you have around number fifty?
    Just for fun (because I know I'll probably get slated), from 40 onwards I have:
    40 E Ray
    41 Folley
    42 Machen
    43 Ellis
    44 Quarry
    45 Shavers
    46 Douglas
    47 Ruddock
    48 Burns

    I cannot see how Byrd is top 50? Moorer? I would think anyone who was champ could beat those guys out without a problem.

    I can. He has some big wins, and was #1 in the world.
