    Not my most knowledgeable weight division though the mighty Willie Pep is a big favourite of mine.
    But I’ve done a lot of recent research and now I think I know as much about featherweights as I do my specialist subject, the Heavyweights!

    Well well. I'm not your daddy, Classic, but if I was I would spank you. No George Dixon - a fighter so great that if our HoF was limited to just twenty names I would still pick him. The only reason he's not the greatest boxer of the 1800s is the birth of Bob Fitzsimmons. A titan. I think it's more arguable that Dixon should be included a head of Pep than that Saddler should be included at the expense of Dixon.

    Near Miss: Dixon was indeed eighth - close but not quite close enough for me to change my vote and remove the forums #7 :lol:
    The Big Surprise: Sanchez and Arguello both swanning into the hall of fame - I really thought it'd be a showdown between these two but I couldn't have been more wrong.
    Shocking!: ...you can tell i'm upset.

    27 out of 28 so far. Sanchez instead of Attell spoils my 100% record
