    I am not certain what these kinds of lists are supposed to mean as you are not evaluating the fighters but some aspect of their abilities.

    But I think Harry Matthews should be in your stylist list ahead of Bucceroni. They both fought Bob Murphy. Murphy stopped Bucceroni. Matthews made him look as crude as Maxim later did, but for some reason (the IBC, I think) Matthews never got a shot at Maxim which might have been interesting.

    Curtis Hatchet Man Sheppard should get a shout for the 'punchers' bit and I know Jake Lamotta thought Bob Satterfield could hit like Tyson?

    Don ****ell had wins over both Roland Lastarza and Harry Matthews so perhaps deserved a berth in the skilled technicians.

    Joe Baksi was also still operating during this period albeit not at his best.
