    Kid Chocolate is too high....Harry Greb is too low. I would put Greb anywhere in the top 3.

    Both Leonards should be in the top 20.

    Jones, Hopkins, and PBF are not top 20 fighters. Hopkins and Jones are top 40 or so...PBF isn't.

    Robinson, Greb, and a few others are too low. Chavez could be higher or lower. Depends on your criteria I guess.

    Can't forget the Mongoose. He did beat George Plimpton.

    All kidding aside, Archie needs to be on the top 20.

    I still disagree with you about RJJ and BHop as top 100 material......

    And I with you. I will make no effort to convince you otherwise. I stand by my rankings and criteria as I am sure you do yours.

    You read too much into simple statements. It is merely fact. I know your position on Jones and nothing I will say will change your opinion. And vice versa.
