    I'm scared, lol.

    Here goes.

    Right now it's

    1. SRR
    2. Greb
    3. Armstrong
    4. Langford
    5. Fitzsimmons
    6. Duran
    7. Ali
    8. Ray Leonard
    9. Pep
    10. Charles
    11. Benny Leonard
    12. Gans
    13. Walker
    14. Ross
    15. Canzoneri/sometimes Griffith, sometimes Loughran, sometimes McLarnin, sometimes Whitaker, sometimes McFarland

    I shuffle them all around anyway. But it's all only based on my understanding of their careers and I admit I have a list as much to help me learn as it is having strong, definite opinions. Especially with guys like Greb that I can't watch. The more I'm exposed to, on or off film, no telling how I might change it.

    Thanks for the contribution. In the end, no matter how persuasive a particular case it comes down to opinion.

    My current draft:

    01. Harry Greb
    02. Sam Langford
    03. Ray Robinson
    04. Ezzard Charles
    05. Henry Armstrong
    06. Roberto Duran
    07. Benny Leonard
    08. Ray Leonard
    09. Bob Fitzsimmons
    10. Muhammad Ali
    11. Joe Gans
    12. Archie Moore
    13. Willie Pep
    14. Mickey Walker
    15. Joe Louis

    I'm also faded at the moment so who knows.

    It's somewhat upsetting to me that I cant objectively place the Barbados Demon inside the top 15. What a damn shame he shot himself and drew with Sam and Gans, although many felt Langford won the bout which wouldve made him a world champion in basically his only title shot if im not mistaken.
