Your top 10 SMW list...?

It's possible, but at the same time I've always been a little (perhaps jokingly) fanatical about Fitz's abilities, so our biases should cancel each other out. There's (just) enough Youtube and Google Book evidence on Fitz's style that we can dissect it (and Calzaghe's) in the same way we did Louis's.

Besides, debates that we have an emotional stake in (as long as we keep the arguments themselves polite and objective) are often the most enlightening.

So...shall we set a date with destiny after the Calzaghe-Kessler bout is concluded? Perhaps something like, "Calzaghe vs. Fitzsimmons: A Great Supermiddle in Retrospect". :think

Correct, except for one detail. Fitz was only 168 pounds for five minutes (after eating half of Detroit) before his superhuman metabolism brought him back to the perfect 167 lbs. Only one photograph of a 168 lb. Fitzsimmons has survived:

A pioneer? The division was boxing's laughing stock until the 1990s (or specifically after Leonard and Tommy won trinkets). Journeymen (and that's being kind) like Roy Gumbs received shots at the crown usually by getting sparked and iced- often a pre-requisite for super-middles in the 1980s. Park also fought exclusively in Korea...there's bad decisions, then there's 'Korean decisions' and struggled with every half-decent fighter he ever fought.
