    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.
