    Mine is:
    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Sugar Ray Robinson
    3. Roberto Duran
    4. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
    5. Henry Armstrong
    6. Archie Moore

    WHo is your top 5 or 6 whose faces you;d carve in your Mount Rushmore of boxing?

    (I suspect many will put Ali, Robinson and Duran , while some others will also include Benny Leonard, Harry Greb, Carlos Monzon, Joe Louis, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Barney Ross, maybe Bernard Hopkins and Salvador Sanchez, and they are all certainly worthy of votes)...

    I like it, however Fitz himself would say to put Gans in his place, and Langford also stated Gans was the greatest.

    That's a trifle though. Excellent selections.
