Just curious TBooze, where exactly do you rank Carpentier nowadays? I know he's moved a ways down from the rather unorthodox position of #4 that you used to have him at.

Peer pressure (from yourself and others as well also reading up some rather excellent biographies) mean Carpentier has gone from my all-time #4 to #22 as of October 9th 2007...

Here for your mocking/entertainemnt is my all time top 50

(Brackets equal their place in my top 35 in November 2004.)

Marvin Hagler. Saw an article of him in an newspaper(boxing is not really big in Scandinavia), and from then on - I studied him.

Strike of luck(or the lack thereof), it turned out he was the "enemy" of my hated boxer, SRL, whom in turn had destroyed my fav danish fighter, Ayub Kalule.

It was a good relationship, which surpassed my former admiration of Cassius Clay/Muhammed Ali.

Come on now, stop romancing the old-timers, we all know Hagler wouldn't last in today's MW division, what with the new and improved modern sciences....

Well, the fact that you take the time to make all these lists means I have to cut you some slack. But for your next change(in the year 2010 or whatever it may be), you might want to re-evaluate the careers of Charles and Moore, as you seem to have them mixed up in terms of where they should place.

Charles is classic flavour of the month, later this year Janitor would of thrown someone else out there that we will all be ranting and raving about.

It could be that, or the 3 wins Charles holds over Moore, combined with a similarly mega-stacked resume otherwise.

Charles's resume is one of the top 4 greatest in the history of the sport the way I see it.
