    Newspaper decisions shouldn't count much, as there was controversy about many of them. Such as several Loughran's losses could be taken as wins for him.

    Throw in Harry Greb and Jack Dillon.

    You might also want to consider Jeff Clark in Sam Langfords case.

    I knew you would mention Clark. I fail to see how he was a top light heavyweight. Please enlighten me.

    Nice. But what are your reasons for leaving these boys out?

    I don't exactly know why I left Stribling out, maybe I had the impression he was only twelve years old. I left Marshall out because he was better as a middleweight or small light heavyweight. The super middleweight division would have been perfect for him, same with Eddie Booker.

    Clark is a bit of a grey area. A miscelaneous weight if you like. He fought from middleweight to heavyweight but was typicaly in the light heavyweight range.

    For a light heavyweight, he certainly fought a lot of lightweights and welterweights. Did he start out as one?

    He was esentialy a natural middleweight but had to move up because none of the top middlews would face him.

    Probably because he was losing too often.
