    "Emotion out of men." Yes indeed. The goal is to invite the literate to appreciate the puglisitic; as well as to reveal new facts and theories to the serious fight fan.

    Thank you for your support. Tell your friends.

    That would be the day.:D

    I am curious as to why Langford didn't make the list, though. But I'll let that hang until nr. 1 is announced. Really look forward to that one! Been an epic so far.

    I have done, not many of my friends are too into boxing but i chew their ears off quite a bit about boxing history so i told some of them to check your stuff out earlier today. My compliments to your writing played a part in getting them to read.

    Can't wait for number one.

    Langford didn't make the list because his peak was before 1920. No fighter whose peak was before that date was included. See "The Gods of War: Series Introduction" for details.
