    Thanks. The Willie Pep story is outstanding. How about Carlos Monzon?

    How about Carlos in the "p4p sense"? Are you asking if he is among the Gods of War?

    I never knew just how great Burley was until I read that.

    What was that Max Schmeling said when asked what weakness he saw in Joe Louis...? I von't zay.

    You'll have to check back and see... another eight times.

    He was a surprise of sorts though. I've always had him way up in the top 4 or 5.

    I've had him between 6 and 9. But what I mean to say is, if your #9 had been, say, Tunney, we'd all be scratching our heads a little bit, wandering where we were going to end up. Nice to have a name we can almost all agree upon.

    I can almost promise you that at least two posters out here will like the way the list ended up -namely you and Manassa.

    After the calculations were all done and the dust settled, there were about four surprises for me. Not shocks, but surprises.
