    Quick Update:

    I have logged 29 lists from the 2000s. Still time to get those in if anyone is still interested. Once I sort the data, I'll close this down. Hoping to do that within the next 2 weeks, but don't think I'll finish this one until AFTER Thanksgiving (but before Christmas).

    But I will begin working on it within 2 weeks, at which point I'll close the 2000s, and then only the 2010s will remain open.

    I'm still gunning for before or around Christmas, but I'll keep the 2000s open until after Thanksgiving.

    Another quick update:

    As soon as I release the 2000s results, I will immediately be closing the 2010s Survey. I will definitely have the 2000s finished before Christmas, possibly as early as some time next week.

    So for anyone interested in participating in the 2010s edition - the final edition in the Survey Series - now is the time to submit your list. Within the next 5 to 10 days, the entire survey will be officially closed.

    Would you consider after this great series is finished Rummy doing the same, but for weight classes or even just heavyweight?

    Update - it should be in 2 days or so. Apologies for missing the Christmas goal. A hectic but enjoyable holiday season prevented me from completing this sooner.

    I will definitely do some sort of new Survey shortly after this one is complete.

    I'm not sure on the weight classes variation at this time - I did one for the Original 8 a little over 5 years back, and part of me feels as if it may be too close to those, still. I've gotten a lot of good suggestions for other surveys, and have had several ideas of my own that I'd still like to fully explore. (But I DO plan to redo the Original 8 again, maybe every division even - but I was thinking more along the lines of perhaps 2030. Interestingly enough, the 2000s edition of this Survey - I referenced the Featherweight Survey from 5+ years back).

    One of the ones I'd very much still like to do, while perhaps a little silly, is one breaking down the greatest boxing nicknames/monikers. I'd like to do that at SOME point this year, and perhaps that would be a good transitional survey before another "Herculean effort in scope".

    I will definitely come up with something, and hopefully not another one that takes me more than 3 years to complete. :lol:

    But before then, I have to finish up the 2000s, the 2010s, and I think I'm going to do a final thoughts episode evaluating all 13 parts.

    NOTE - As soon as the 2000s results go live, the Survey is officially closed for good.

    So anyone who wants to get their 2010s lists in, now is the time to do so. The 2000s results will go live in the next 24-30 hours.

    I had all ten not in the same order though.Bit surprised Floyd wasnt no 1 but cant argue with the points you made regarding that.
