    Rank these guys

    I would love to hear some of your thoughts on how you would rank this group of fighters. They were all "white hopes" at one time or another. Had they all been in their primes and fought each other, how do you see them ranked, from best to worse? I listed them alphabetically.

    If I missed somebody you think should be in there, go ahead & list them where-ever.

    Oscar Bonavena
    George Chuvalo
    Randy Cobb
    Gerry Cooney
    Andrew Golota
    Tommy Morrison
    Jerry Quarry

    *Edited to add Golota

          Good list. I'd have Morrison above Cooney though, Gerry was basically created to make Holmes look good, with an inflated record of nobodies and has-beens.

            Oscar Bonevena was a beast in his day and one of the most durable fighters of his time. I think he would have a shot at beating all of them. I ranked Morrison at the bottom becuase he had a weak chin and his stamina was not great and most of these fighters could truely punch. Golota wouldn't last against most. While Golota was very skilled, these fighters are very durable and if they wouldn't go away after he landed thier best stuff, he would fold like news paper, foul and end up getting disqualified. Here is my list.

            Oscar Bonevena
            Gerry Cooney
            Jerry Quarry
            George Chuvalo
            Tommy Morrison
            Randy Cobb
            Andrew Golota
