    I'm pretty happy up to around 30 or so, maybe a bit past, then it gets all hazy.

    Nothing funnier than your list in some areas.... Not that I'm going to discuss those areas with an obvious Classic section noob (boob). :)

    In other words, you don't even trust your own critique.

    At first glimpse a fine effort young man. McCallum can't be ahead of Spinks and Holmes tho, Marciano too i'd say. I see Zarate not there too. Gomez might be close. Which Walcott?

    Nah, I just don't pay much attention to a banned guy. At least you said you were banned. That, and you are an obvious dip not worth debating regarding the list. I don't see much boxing knowledge behind your choices to be honest.

    Good on you, it takes some guts to put out a list knowing that some clowns around here are going to take pot shots at your rankings without putting up a list themselves.

    I do disagree with some of your picks, but it's an interesting selection. The top 35 or so is really solid.

    Mine probably isn't worth a look. I'm a bit of a noob myself. You're better off looking elsewhere :good

    I'm just throwing out some opinions he might discuss and maybe even change. As he said, open to suggestions. Or did you read it as open to criticism?
