    Yeah I've seen it. But this is a good concept to arrange something so many of us constantly mull over ;)

    I don't want to suggest anything to brash so can I make some suggestions for "(holding)"?

    - Kid McCoy
    - Freddie Welsh
    - Kid Chocolate
    - Beau Jack

    Any thoughts?

    Attell's a good call. He should be in there somewhere.

    My suggestions...

    Dulio Loi should go at Tier VII,imo (replacing the Nonperil if you need someone bumped to holding).

    Add Eusebio Pedroza and Nicolino Locce to the "What about..?" holding category

    I'd have Micheal Spinks exchange tiers with Emile Griffith, personally.

    Anyway, Jofre was significantly better on film than what we have of Ortiz. Just' saying, as a guy who was quite impressed with Ortiz's performance against that little Mexican guy (Castillo?). Great in-fighting, and the opponent wasn't bad at all, either.

    Agreed (on Jofre>Manuel Ortiz)

    Glad someone else has made the case for YC3. McGrain, you know what to do.

    **** Lopez.

    Abe Attell and Bob Foster are definite top 100 material, especially the former.

    I'll be surprised if we're all in agreement about Loi>Locche

    I'm a humongous Pedroza fan but he's not top 100 material IMO.

    Good morning handsom gentlemen.

    I like the suggestions for the next holding pen, good stuff i'll look that over momentarily. I'm more interested in hearing from dudes about guy who are currently holding though. They will languish in the existing tier if guys don't make a push for them (in the manner i did for Tommy Gibbons or luf did for Tommy Ryan). I'm gonna make some touch ups and then post it anew.
