    I would say my top 5 were the best of the Battling's. Actually there over 2400 boxers that had that name.

    Burt, where do you live now, because it looks like your a New Yorker and I am on the E-Board of Ring 8, which is the largest and most well known Veteran Boxing Organization in the World.

    Also, John Garfield sounds like he is another one from New York.

    No, they were not in order, as I would agree with you on Nelson.
