    Marvin? Nah. I can't see it. I think Ray is a stretch too...

    What's your personal top ten on the assumption that Greb, Langford and B. Leonard aren't included? Is it STILL unsightly, or a stretch to have a Ray or a Marv?

    I think that's fair. It's certainly my position. But it's not absolutley clear.

    Well Ali certainly has a better record against the best he fought than Moore did.

    Oh yeah! Chuck in Sugar Ray Leonard then. I think he has a case to be ranked above Moore, certainly (not my position).

    I believe that's reasonable, but I still feel that these positions are arguable.

    1. Robinson
    2. Armstrong
    3. Greb
    4. Langford
    5. Pep
    6. Charles
    7. Ali
    8. Duran
    9. Leonard (Benny)
    10. Hagler

    HM: Monzon, SRL, Ross, etc...

    i include hagler as i reckon him to be the best middle ever, also i think Pep is the best fighter out of the top 4 as he was being ranked as P4P great before he even retired. the rest are fairly uncontroversial

    Stay tuned. I have my own top 10 list too... but if we're honest, all of our preconceptions will be challenged and our lists will change once we apply a standard that is above our preconceptions. First, a pool. Then, a list.

    Jones is looking like a transvestite at the Arthurian Round Table in that list.

    Personally I'd have Sweet Pea above Burley, Canzoneri and Jofre.

    However, the consensus pool group that you have above is perfect IMO.
