    I would sday that Wills, Moore and Byrd are too low.

    Joe Goddard, Fred Fulton, Tommy Loughran, Nino Valdez, and Ray Mercer should be in somwhere.

    You're a bit high on Sam McVey.

    Interesting picks though.

    McVey has wins over:
    Clark x5
    Langford x2
    Jeannette 1
    Ferguson
    Bell x2
    Russell
    Martin x3
    Wills x2
    Plus 6 draws with Langford and 1 with Jeannette.
    Of his losses 7 were to Langford 2 were to Jeannette,3 were to Johnson,2 were to Wills.I think he should be in anybodys top ten.

    I think #4 is too high for Mcvey But if you have Langford in your top 3, and are okay with McVey at #4, it's clear which champion ducked the best competition: ) and we did not even mention Jeannette in this reply.

    You can come up with your own list here. I'd like to see 20.

    I have Langford at number 1 McVey at 5. I've already shown that Johnson signed to fight his three best challengers but was prevented from doing so by circumstances this is undeniable, irrefutable, and unarguable.
    If you sign to fight them but are prevented from doing so by the promoter withdrawing the offer then by definition you cannot be accused of ducking them ,well nowhere but on Planet Mendoza.

    If you want to divert your thread in this direction, that's your choice. It matters not to me.
    I'm not going to keep posting the same verified,primary sourced information just so you can totally ignore it
    as though it never existed.Its all there in book form provided by Clay Moyle , Adam Pollack,and Geoffrey C Ward.
    Pretending it does not exist in print is akin to denying its June and summer!.
    The fact that I correct your lies does not mean that I'm interested in your opinion,only in correcting it.
    I couldn't care less what you think and to attempt to get you to admit to the truth would be an exercise in futility.
    I can spend my time much more profitably in my garden, reading a book in the sun.

    Absolving Johnson of blame, even though many facts suggest the opposite is your primary reason for being here. Might you pick up the second act sometime? I like the idea of you gardening more, and posting less.

    I already showed you Johnson pulled out of a signed contract with Langford while he was the champion, and numerous big money offers by known promoters to get him into the ring with Jeannette, Mcvey, and Langford, all three of whom would have jumped at a chance to get the title! You know it, and so do I, so let's stop pretending Johnson's game mean anything.

    Johnson is a trickster, simply moving the needle past the point where no reasonable offer was good enough for him to risk the title. His managers openly ripped him, he was dishonorable, and a known liar outside of the ring. Your hero...

    Now having said that if you want to give us your top 20, I can use the data for ESB consensus after this thread runs its course.


    PS: If I wanted to I could quote Ward in Unforgivable Blackness and bury you. If I wanted to buy Adam's book do the same where he chooses to present the other side of the argument.

    You are guilty of omitting known facts, and presenting what you through other people's work, a reason why your points are often rather weak as they lack the ability critically reason out solutions. That and accepting known facts while formulating your " opinion "

    You showed me nothing ,never have,never will .

    Over a year ago , Clay Moyle sent me a copy of the contract Johnson signed to fight Langford in 1908 it was to be at the NSC in Covent Garden in Feb1909 .
    I know a damn sight more than you do about it,always have and always will!
    I've asked you a multitude of times to produce these"big offers for Johnson to defend against them" you have never produced ONE single offer. You don't even know what the purses were for Johnson's projected defences against them .
    You're talking to some one who has forgotten more about this subject than you have yet to learn.

    Johnson's character has absolutely no bearing on his abilities as a boxer and for the life of me I can't see how it is relevant to this thread either,but hey, its your thread , do what the f*ck you want! Why would I give flying f*ck!
    I don't have heroes, and Johnson is far from my favourite fighter. I just dislike liars who want to re-adjust history because of a phobic hatred for a man they perceive as an uppity n****r!
    You can quote who the f*ck you want ,I can rebut anything you produce in my sleep!
    Did you get Rhas Al Ghul to "ghost the underlined for you?
    Because its the sort of gibberish he posts,but at least he has the excuse English it's not his first language!

    How about David Haye? Brewster?

    And let's stop the hate once and for all: John Ruiz deserves a spot

    This list is not numbered as regards ability, or have I missed something?
