    That automatically makes any list null and void.

    The more crazy you make the list the more it's discussed and more attention is paid to it. Which is what the writer wants. Not really a serious list

    especially since they have
    Prince Nazeem Hamed
    2 slots ahead of none other then Marco Antonio Barrera, & only one slot away from Salvador Sanchez!
    found that Odd.

    74. Salvador Sanchez
    75. Naseem Hamed
    76. Harry Greb
    77. Marco Antonio Barrera

    Harry Greb at 76 is much more odd as well.

    It's acknowledged in the article that Greb suffers because independent rankings from The Ring existed for only two years of Greb's career. That makes Greb's entrance even more impressive.

    Yes but the criteria for each of these lists is different. One was an overall account, while this 100 Year Anniversary edition is concerned with a statistical evaluation of how guys fared against rated opposition.

    Thanks, interesting to see as well Jofre and Olivares. Who ranked higher and therefore has the better resume.

    Cheers. Looking around there's plenty to worry about in more recent decades too.
