    Dempsey has no case for top 25 of all time unless the list is based solely on social impact.

    Galaxy doesn't need to be in any top 100 list anyway, DINAMITA, he was about the 4th or 5th best 115 pounder of his era. He's absurdly overrated for whatever reason, mostly due to a lack of knowledge of the lower weights.

    King Dan, you and I are usually in agreement, but I disagree with you on your points on both Mosley and Dempsey on this thread. I think Dempsey would probably make a top 100, but nowhere near a top 50, never mind a top 25, I don't see the justification for that at all. And I don't agree that Sugar Shane has beaten more class fighters than Calzaghe has fought. Take away Mosley's wins over Oscar, and you are left with a very thin, very weak resume IMO.

    I agree with you on Dempsey.

    Galaxy was only ever an outside bet, I only included him because I am interested in peoples' opinions of him as some seem to view him as a stone cold ATG, and some seem to view him as spectacularly overrated.

    On the basis of his resume, I lean towards the latter viewpoint.

    That's just silly. I'm no fan, but a top 200 without Calzaghe would be an absolute joke.
