    I wanted to vote for Barbados Joe Walcott.

    But I only know him as an ATG great because I have been told he is.

    Which is exactly the kind of history stuff I preach against.

    I have not looked into the man and that distant past is hard to de ern, except for maybe the HW who got much more press.

    No film either.

    The other three guys I can argue that I know enough of their history to say I think they were ATGs.

      Yeah, judging the old timers can be a task, especially the blacks who were shut out. Of them all I am sure enough of Langford and Gans.

            The Gibbons brothers had a boxing school, which may have been their lingo for a gym. I have heard Tunney went there, but have never been able to verify that. Maybe not, because Tunney KOd T Gibbons in his last fight. They were very savvy boxers. Tommy even had a punch. Mike's body looks impossible to have a big punch. I think he was a decision guy. Big brother Tommy even whipped Greb the first time they met.

            Some of these picks are going to be controversial.
