Lists Please!!!!!

Not in your 100?? I belive Gene Fullmer should be there some were in the top 100 lol. Villa should make the top 100 also.

 

The shame, Darcy doesnt make the cut either??

 

There are so many guys I feel uncomfortable about excluding, and those two are definitely in that bunch.

Really, you could make good cases for half the guys I listed being in the top 100.

 

My top fighters with the last name Yarosz:

1. Teddy Yarosz
2. Eddie Yarosz

Thank you.

 

Hahah, not even after looking at the extended versions of his fights, lol. Have you had a look at them by the way?

If his career wasn't cut so short i think he would have taken his place amongst the top 100. His talent is undeniable.

 

:huh This seems a bit inconsistent. Why would Marciano rank higher than Jeffries at heavyweight, but lower pound-for-pound? Jeffries was considerably bigger than Marciano.

 

Not yet, still recorded some DVDs to working DVD's.

I got the Jake Lamotta DVD recorded. They may be on one of the non working DVDs of the 4.

 

Its on the working disk,

Question, there are some fights I cant id on that disk with the Longer versions of the Darcy fights. It has Louis Lewis also. Can you give me a run down on that disk?

 

NOTE: This list is excluding guys who are still active and near the top or who still have numerous opponents who are active and near the top, because those guys' rankings are heavily in flux. Guys like the Klitschkos and Tua will eventually have a place on this list, but I will wait for them and the majority of their major opponents to retire or drop out of the picture before I feel like I have a fairly clear picture of where they fall overall.

Where do you rate Tommy Yarosz ?

 

He was no slouch, but surely he can't be ranked above an incredible undefeated sensation like Eddie! Why, it seems practically the entire welterweight division (literally) was ducking him for nearly four straight years!
