You better have Charles over Fitzsimmons.

With most of the murderers row group there is two reasons they didnt rule their main division: noone gave them a shot in their prime, the war froze the titles.


There was a period of time when he was the best lhw campaigning in the division though.

From.the top.of my head it's something like bivins beat christoforidis then moved up, Marshall beat bolden then lost to Moore who lost to Williams then won the rematch then lost to Charles who tore his way through the best lhw and hw fighters until the war ended and he finally received his title shot against Walcott.

I mean yeah looking through the ring top tens he doesn't spend a whole heap of time at the top but that's purely circumstantial and doesn't tell the story.

I mean he beat burley at mw, Moore at lhw and Louis at hw. That's a top 10 atg in each weight class.

With Charles the argument should be how far up the top ten he is.

 

I don't really have a top ten yet but if someone was threatening to **** me unless I produced one it would look like

Robinson
Armstrong
Greb
Fitzsimmons
Langford
Leonard
Charles
Moore
Pep
Ali

I'm only really happy with my top 7 though. The others I ain't sold on. I'm gonna put the fab 4 all from 10-20 though it just feels right to me.

 

Roberto Duran doesn't belong in the top ten p4p, for me.

 

Joe Louis above Muhammad Ali? No deal.

 

Did anyone else note the absurdity here? :nut

 

Agree. I see a lot of Jack Johnson over Joe Louis too and I just can't fathom it.

1. Ray Robinson
2. Hank Armstrong
3. Harry Greb
4. Sam Langford
5. Ezzard Charles
6. Muhammad Ali
7. Ben Leonard
8. Roberto Duran
9. Archie Moore
10. Ray Leonard

 

Good list imo.. slightly different than mine, but still good

 

I probably have Ali/Leonard too high but I'm a shameless so everyone can S a D :tong

 

it got my point across though, right?

 

I've no problem with Pep being rated around 11-15. I tend to leave him out of the top 10 a lot of the time :think
