    The Bantamweight issue has been resolved, and is the first totally finished list. (I still haven't sorted it, as I want my own reveals to be sequential).

    FINISHED
    - Bantamweight

    OUTSTANDING
    1 - Flyweight
    1 - Feather

    @Rumsfeld Are you planning to do your big reveals here on the forum, or on your badass YouTube channel?

    I am going to initially release everything on the channel, probably as a 10 part series consisting of quick little presentations. But I'll be posting them all here as well afterwards.

    Rummy's corner has taught me a lot over the years, and his vids like "who's the best heavyweight since Ali?", and "Who's the best out of Wilder, Joshua and Fury?" really got my interest in the sport running.

    My favourite thing he ever said though was 'The ooooooooool' mongooose'. :naughty2:

    During this whole series, I've actually gathered enough notes on the guys who fought at the ******* divisions to make a top 10 list (although my own knowledge kinds helped, the notes just helped fill in the gaps) per 'new' division. I'd be down to do something like this for CW, 168, 154, 140... and so on.

    I'm comfortable making lists at all those weights, I personally feel for some of them, in particular CW, SMW, LMW, SBW, LFLW, STW a top ten isn't as meaningful.

    Don't get me wrong, still a fun exercise, but when you're getting to the lower half of a top ten CW you're splitting cat pubes amongst guys who are clearly not greats.

    If it happens it happens though, I enjoy it.

    Lost electricity for 24 hours, and with it my momentum. But will continue posting updates here as I progress.

    At this point, I will try and finish logging all of the lists so I can identify any potential issues of the minor variety. And when the data is all entered, once I get through the Flyweights, I'm hoping there should be a reveal every 2-3 days or so. The goal is to get this completely finished before Sept 4, but we will see how that goes.

    That's a change.

    I can remember when many folks on here used to end their posts with

    "Rummy is a sack of......."

    :D




    For the record, Rummy is a gentleman and a scholar.

    I'm not going to lie, I'm super tempted to sort Middleweight out of overwhelming curiosity. But I've avoided the temptation to sort these yet until I am ready to put Flyweight together.
