    I better say it again guys, I have Greb in the 1920's list, the first name off the rank. I do not like to have a guy in two lists although I made exception for Leonard and Johnson so maybe I replace him with Greb, Jeanette didn't make any other decade and you cant tell me he isn't great

    I was not trying to infer that those wins don't count

    But Darcy beat them more convincingly I think.

    If I did a top 50 of the decade I'd definitely find room for the likes of Smith and Darcy.

    LOL calling Houck a journeyman. The guy is in the HOF (several actually).

    He beat Jack Britton (who made your list), Harry Lewis, Jimmy Gardner, Frank Klaus, Battling Levinsky, George Chip, Bob Moha, Billy Papke, Eddie McGoorty, Dave Smith (your vaunted hero when you think he was a champion), KO Brown, Buck Crouse, Jack Dillon, Joe Borrell, Jack McCarron, Johnny Wilson, Clay Turner, Gunboat Smith, Jeff Smith, and Al McCoy among others but hes a journeyman??? LOL. He beat all of the best guys Darcy beat, most of them before Darcy, and somehow hes a journeyman but Darcy is one of the best fighters of the decade?

    Jack Johnson's body of work in the 1910s is far to minimalistic to say he was a top 10 fighter for this particular decade. No doubt he gets in the previous decade though

    Well I did have doubts between Johnson and greb to be honest.
