I find whenever I'm creating a top heavyweights list I can't figure out where to rank the pre Louis group. Which is a sizable chunk of most experts ATG lists. Need a bit of education here about who should rank above who, why, what they accomplished at the weight, how skilled they were etc. Bit of a vague thread, sorry, but Classic usually produces the goods when I have gaps in knowledge. Please post who you rank, maybe a top ten pre Louis or just any info relevant to the subject. Thanks.
I'll list them with the number of their ranking on my list at least and in order of ranking also No.2 Dempsey No.5 Jack Johnson No.12 Gene Tunney No.16 James J Corbett No.17 Maxie Baer No.18 Max Schmeling No.19 Jack Sharkey No.20 Fitz No.21 Jeff No.22 Carnera No.23 Tommy Burns No.24 Braddock No.26 Marvin Hart
