    Barney Ross
    Henry Armstrong
    Benny Leonard
    Rocky Marciano
    Joe Louis
    Jack Dempsey
    Joe Gans
    Ray Robinson
    Carman Basilio
    And I suppose I thown in Kid Galvian for tenth place.

    Now Tony Canzi, Joe Brown, Carlos Ortiz, Fighting Hararda, Battling Nelson, Tony Zale, and others could have made the list.

    Some days I may drop Carman and put Nelson or Darcy lol.

    Here's a pre-1900 list to cheer you up. My guys who did at least a chunk of their work in 1899 or before.

    01 - Bob Fitzsimmons
    02 - Elbows McFadden
    03 - Jimmy Carroll
    04 - Jack McAuliffe
    05 - Jack Dempsey
    06 - Peter Jackson
    07 - Tommy Ryan
    08 - Joe Gans
    09 - George Dixon
    10 - Terry McGovern

    Your list, no real surprises for me there aside from no Calzaghe and Arguello at one. Do you like Olivares?

    If we are in the era of Manny Pacquiao, then McLarins career should be reviewed.

    I´m a huge admirer of Ross and rank him very high. This time he missed my list but he is on it more often than not.
