It's hard to say because from Gatti to McGregor he fought guys far past their best and bloated or flat footed and limited.
I needed to remind myself of my top 10 before going into the top 20: 1. Sugar Ray Robinson 2. Henry Armstrong 3. Willie Pep 4. Muhammad Ali 5. Joe Louis 6. Roberto Duran 7. Benny Leonard 8. Joe Gans 9. Ezzard Charles 10. Archie Moore 11. Jack Johnson 12. Sam Langford 13. Ray Leonard 14. Harry Greb 15. Carlos Monzon 16. Eder Jofre 17. Mickey Walker 18. Barney Ross 19. Gene Tunney 20. Sandy Saddler I think as long as the names are right, the order is secondary - so don't be offended if you think anyone is too high or low.
Yeah, Tunney probably slips out of my newly revised top 20. It'll change again the next time I do it!
He so rarely makes these kind of lists and I just can't understand why! I can't quite put my finger on it...
