    Bivins? Couldn't they find someone better to put there? Jack Johnson, Dempsey, Walcott, Charles, Patterson, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Holyfield? and twenty others?

    Damn can’t believe they even knew who Bivins was let alone put him in the top ten...as much as I appreciate Bivins and as underrated as he is he shouldn’t be top ten.

    Riddick Bowe shouldn't be allowed in a ten mile radius near any top ten list what a joke

    I think this is just the boxrec rankings. Which, like any purely stats-based system, inevitably throws up some funnies.

    That's not the Sport's Bible list. It's just Sport's Bible reporting the Boxrec points list.

    No, I agree he shouldn't be in a top ten.
    He could beat a few of those in the list no doubt, but he didn't do nearly enough to be ranked that high. Just my opinion.

    Ha ha. No Holmes. Now THAT'S funny.

    Waitaminute...BOWE , TUNNEY, and BIVINS over Larry Holmes and Evander Holyfield? Remind me to never check out Sports "Bible". Liston is top 10, certainly, but over Lewis, Holmes, Holyfield?
