                    ** I would not include many of your names on any best list.

                    I would say that Corbett deserves mention because he is the first of the modern era, Bendigo being the first or at least best of Broughton Rules.

                    You chaps completely ignoring the best footwork in maybe a century, Iron Boy Calderon. Guy makes Ali look like a piker.

                    He's been fighting giants his whole career, beat Cotto in the amateurs, and is undefeated in spite of being barely able to break a soapbubble. His offense is as prodigious as his defense.

                    He's up against another huge giant in a rematch he didn't look very good in the first fight, a testament to his gameness. Eventually he gets beat, but it's time you chaps opened your eyes to greatness in front of you.
