    @lufcrazy

    I noticed you left out Hearns in your welterweight list bud. I’m assuming that was a mistake?

    Thanks @McGrain and thanks @George Crowcroft for situating that.

    You two, along with @Jel @lufcrazy and @Webbiano already have me extremely fired-up about this. I'll check back in tomorrow.

    If possible, please help me out by directing potentially interested parties over this way (especially those who may not have seen the previous prelude thread).

    H2H beast at WW, absolutely.

    But he's a million miles away from The WW great imo. There's actually a few more I'd be placing above him tbh.

    That being said my list isn't absolutely concrete.

    I'll be amending it between now and the deadline depending on what I see, look into and am convinced by.

    So when I say Hearns is a million miles away from being a great WW, I mean in my head right now.

    Good stuff man, I just wanted to double check. I also like Wlad at 6 on your heavyweight list!

    I think he's massively under rated tbh. I'm excited to see everyone's lists and spot anomalies etc and whether or not I agree with those.
