    The articles make for a good read. Some of his analysis I find contentious as he can be quite absolute in his description of fighter inadequacies. Overall though, definitely worth a read even if you don't agree with everything.

    I like Cox's Corner's heavyweight rating chart.
    This would also be interesting for other weight classes.

    Monte Cox is quite possibly the only man in the world who truly overrates Joe Gans. I can get behind Gans being his second greatest fighter of all time, even if I disagree with that notion. But saying stuff like ''Gans was as elusive as a prime Whitaker'' or that he was as hard a puncher as Joe Louis P4P, merely based on just reports, is going too far. And here I thought it was impossible for Gans to ever be overrated.
