    I don't even know how it happened. I only copied and pasted my list from checkhook and then swapped two names.


    As an aside, this is a division where it's getting harder and harder to organise them on the real. Guys like Kid Norfolk, Bivins, Rosenbloom and Loughran get harder and harder to justify leaving off whilst guys like Jones, Foster and Johnson still seemingly need to be represented.

    Do you think that dude is underrated? I think so. Total beast at 175, and Archie Moore called him 'the greatest light-heavyweight ever.'

    You don't see him on many of these lists and he should be there or therabouts in my opinion so yeah he probably is unerated as far as it goes.
