    Here is a site you can use to compare Heavyweight Rankings
    when we discuss the now "Modern Old-timers".

    Rankings lsited from 1960-1980....you can get a feel
    of "who dodged who" back then.

    Glad to see Jose "King" Roman got ranked #7 in 1972,
    but then went on a minor slump losing 18 of his
    last 31 fights after getting used as a basketball by Foreman
    in his title shot.

    But he did beat my fellow Texan Terry Daniels on points during that period.....I am sure that was an exciting fight.

    Interesting to see Joe Frazier be the number 1 contender in 1967. We could have witnessed a better fight than FOTC in 1967, when they were at their peaks.
