    Maybe kalambay or smith


    Now I'm going to get killed by the kalambay walks on water brigade

    Must admit to not being that informed on smith although I know he has some top names on his record probably better than most on kalambay's

    Very good tier sorting, but I'd have Benvenuti in V and Rodrigo Valdez in lV.

    After watching kalambay McCallum I no way could you exclude kalambay

    Kalambay put on a masterclass performance

    I think it's close. I think I'd need to take a close look at the contedership of the guys Soose beat who aren't famous. Kalambay put on a hell of a run in the late eighties though, jings.

    Still, I reckon that does help support a demotion for Jones.

    8 makes sense, I don't have the rankings handy. He'd done enough to justify a spot in the bottom part of the top 10.:good

    Rodrigo Valdez and Joe Frazier have some parallels...both had relatively short primes...screwed over because of other greats that they were unfortunately contemporaries with.

    Wouldn't he need to beat Monzon for one to properly parallel Joe?

    Tell you what though: this is the real. MW is way, way, way deeper than LHW and HW. I mean - wtf, crazy difference.

    Yep kalambay did but I think nunn maybe the only boxer that makes the list .I think Soose beat more men actually on the list . when we get to these close decisions on who fits into what tier it really is close wafer thin at times
