    Pep!

    You seem to have a hard on for resume's and yet you have Pep above him.

    I have Ray Robinson at NO.1 P4P, followed closely by Henry Armstrong. For me, those two are a lock for 1 & 2 respectively!

    In relation to the orignal post, how anyone can have Robinson as low as NO.9 I do not know? But hey, you no doubt have your reasons & that's what makes boxing brilliant, we can always debate about things!

    Put it this way, they do not make fighters like Ray Robinson anymore 7 there will probably never be fighters like his calibre anymore. Just can't see it happening!

    ............I'm afraid the author of such a list would, by Classic Forum Law, be turned away from these boards, sent out with nothing more than a change of clothes and a small turnip for sustenance while he tries to make his way into the fold in more questionable neighborhoods.


    I'm sorry, this is the only way. :bart

    Nor should Willie Pep.

    Pep only won a title in one division, didn't have quite the resume or the longevity Robinson did, and arguably wasn't even the best ever in his one division (Saddler arguably outranks him, and some might put Salvador Sanchez over him too).

    I question even putting Pep in the top 10, let alone over Robinson.

    ****ing hell. At least read the first sentence of the thread before making judgements.

    :lol:

    I'll take it my question has been answered! Thank you Classic - it is unacceptable!

    My friend said he thought people would think it was acceptable to have Robinson around #9 even if they disagreed because he was not regarded as that far ahead of the guys I mentioned in the start of the thread. I posted it to see who was right. It was I. I have Robinson in a top 5 with Langford, Greb, Duran and Armstrong, but I have not and probably never will decide on the correct order 1-5.

    ............Well, I was joking of course. And you're right, it's all a bit silly anyway to say "so-and-so is of course #37 on the list, and I have a list of reasons why he should be there in lieu of so-and-so." I have no patience for that kind of crap myself. One list is really about as good as another.



    ..........And remember to pick up your turnip. :blood
