    I was just thinking that a couple of the guys on the current p4p list are 30 or thereabouts. People often ask the question are they all time greats? Have they done as much as previous boxing heroes? Well, let's look at some records and see who the greats of the past had fought by the time they were where these guys are.

    I don't get that.
    Walters and Ramirez not worth mentioning for some reason?

    I don't think either are good boxers. Walters was just a hype job and Ramirez not even that.
