    McVey where we disagree is that I think anyone in the top 20 all-time for a weight class is a great fighter

    That would depend on how deep the class was imo.Charles for example is undeniably a p4p great indeed a case can be made for calling him the greatest.[ not by me]. I don't however call him a great heavyweight neither him or Walcott. BI ran a writers poll in the 60' s both were stuck in the middle of the pack, since then we have had.Frazier,Foreman,Holmes,Tyson,Holyfield,Lewis,W Klitchko. This puts them still further down the list imo.

    I would tend to agree, at least for the original eight weight classes.

    They are broad enough, and go back far enough, that top 20 is a tough mark these days.
