    I got this idea from another forum. The idea is to name the best boxer from each letter of the alphabet (surnames only). One letter at a time, fellas. Feel free to disagree with any choice given. I'll start us off:

    A-Henry Armstrong

    Allow me to also state that "X" is the dumbest letter of the alphabet.

    I'd go for Charles over Chavez, Drew.

    Roberto Duran.


    I'm not going to hog up the alphabet. Just wanted to get that in before Burt arrives and picks Dempsey for D.

    Whoops. Chavez was the first great that came to mind, and not a bad choice. But, Ezzard Charles it is.
