My 20 Greatest Composite Punchers, All Time

Well he was good enough to hit 86 with the esteemed Ring Mag, not too bad.

 

I think you have Marciano too low. This is pound for pound right? The man knocked out every single ranked contender he ever fought, no one did that. Most of his opposition had a size advantage over him. He may not look pretty but he gets the job done better than anyone else. I think he's mandatory for the top10, unless you can list me 10 others who knocked every ranked opponent out they fought and had more than a few fights against them.

 

Ahh the Ring Magazine.

I only buy their "100 Greatest Whatever" lists to get myself angry.Their American bias is pathetic sometimes.

I remember they did a list of the top 20 middleweights of all time and they only managed to squeeze in about 14 U.S fighters including guys like Billy Conn who barely fought at 160.I bought it in good faith to see where the great Les Darcy was ranking these days and was quite shocked to see that he couldn't even crack the top 20.

That said it's still a good magazine but it just needs to realise that there is a world outside the U.S.

 

Totally follow what ya saying mate. The punchers list was mostly good.

 

They mention his penchant for caution.

 

Jones, gotta go to bed but if i remember tomorrow night i will write you up some of what they say about Burley. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Tho short it's a good read.

 

Consider it done then, prolly about a couple of hours before this time right now, hmmm, damn lets just say in about 23 hours or a little less
