    Regarding fenech

    What is really impressive for me also about fenech is that for much of his elite career he fought with extremely brittle hands . Many times after fights when his gloves were taken off in the ring it was apparent he was in much pain

    Fenech for me = warrior

    He certainly did come through things that make him comparable to the old timers. He had a short prime but fought most of his bouts at the top level and didn't wait around.

    Plus there's loads of footage of him looking brilliant. I definitely rank him over Darcy, although I am more than happy to see Darcy in the kinda' company, rather than how high he usually is. He deserves to be, he was great.

    Seriously anything above 150 is going to be almost arbitrary. I don't wanna ***** out but it's almost better to just do honourable mentions after 150 :conf

    But if pressed I will help :cus!!!

    With Freddie Steele at around #60, I'm really not liking the fact that Apostoli isn't even making the top 150 now.
    I swear he stacks up as an equal in the era. Head-to-head and on resume.

    I'd rate Jack Dempsey much much higher, and Mike Tyson too.
    Heavyweights tend to get shafted by hipster logic.
