    Who are the top 5 Mc's, and in what order?
    McGovern?
    McLarnin?
    McFarland?
    McCallum?
    I'm a bit drunk... so I may have overlooked a few. I will also accept "Mac's".
    (However, I will not accept 'McDonald's', 'Mack the Knife', or 'Old Macdonald had a Farm'.)

    Can we throw in some Murphy’s and O’Grady’s for good measure and just make it Micks?

    I’ll have to go with Boston Tom McMustache as the all-time Mc.

    Actually, this is a serious question:
    I put McGovern very high (top 30-35 ever), and McCallum much lower (top 90-100)...
    But I always wondered who people rate higher, out of McLarnin and McFarland?!
    I have them so close, P4P.
    Just thought I'd frame my question in a silly (stupid) way :)

    Haha, McGrain and McVey have forgotten more about boxing than I'll ever know. But would be nice if they contributed to my harmless McThread.

    I read the thread title as the letters "MC" as in guys like Micheal Buffer. God I'm an idiot.

    I thought you meant "MCs" as in rappers, in which case Ali would win. He released an album which many say inspired what later became rap music.

    My dad became quite friendly with Clinton Mc at a holiday complex in Devon in 1986, he was there with his wife and son, his son won a contest to see who was the cutest male child at te complex, I didn`t enter, I was 9, lol! A month later we watched McKenzie get knocked out in one round on TV, my dad was really angry and embarrassed.

    McCallum was the best and had the best resume.

    Jimmy Lennon to me; his son is excellent too, but Buffer was too showy! ;)

    McClellan was the best for me. Everyone felt he'd be fighter of the 90s
