    Robinson wasn't prime when I saw him but one of my first memories of boxing was sitting in my Dad's lap watching Robinson fight on Gillette's Friday Night Fights. I wasn't old enough to appreciate what I was seeing but my Dad loved watching Robinson fight. My father also knew Pep and one of his trainers. My best friend's Dad had actually met Jack Johnson and hung out with Louis and Robinson. I know this dates me but I don't care. lol

    Born in 1988.

    Actually very difficult now I think about it. Not so much naming the 25 but ordering them... Let me come back to you.

    Def above MAB. I'm a big fan of him and Morales but both are ridiculously overrated. Lennox is arguably the h2h GOAT at the weight.

    I won't even bother to post mine because I'm just 23.

    I have noticed that some people have some guys very high and have put them above guys with greater resumes.

    I'm assuming they are considering possible H2H abilities?????
