    He's top 10 for me.
    I cannot put him above the trio of SRR, Greb and Armstrong, but anywhere from 4th to 10th is fine by me.

    That was the level back then, you cannot fault him for that.
    Sportsmen need to be judged based on how good they were for their era.

    He'd smoke virtually anyone out there today, only thing that would limit him would be size.

    But top 40 is still far highier praise than that tbf.
