    Are you going to do this for other divisions?

    At some point I will at least TRY. The problem will become, footage becomes scarcer as you move down in weights and travel back through time. Even with 175 - a lot of footage simply doesn't exist for a lot of the bouts needed to do a more thorough video breakdown. At this point, I think I can reasonably try for 175, 160, and 147 - but it's still going to be lacking (ie - any of the Charles-Moore bouts, anything involving Greb, etc).

    I was looking at my results from some of those divisions (assuming I'd use the same ranking results as one of the brackets). Based on those results, it MIGHT be easier than I anticipated for some of these divisions north of 135.

    You don't love Louis, do you? :D

    Seriously though, good video but I disagree that Foreman is wrong for Louis. Someone with many defensive weaknesses who is quite easy to counter wouldn't have a nice day against Louis. Joe was also faster than Foreman and he was physically strong enough not to be pushed around.

    Do a LHW or MW ones. Can't wait to see Fitzsimmons and Moore in action ;)

    Good job Rummy. I thought most of your picks were on the money or at least reasonably plausible.
