All in all very respectable list.

I think you could make a case for Harry Greb being in the top 5.
Would like to see a WW, LW and HW rankings for you soon.

Grebs light heavy resume may not be as good as Robinsons middleweight resume, but it is surely better than RJJ's light heavy resume which is the point. Either he has a top 10 resume or he doesn't, his ranking at another weight shouldn't be a factor.

His resume is better yeah but I don't entirely rank off of resume.

Like I said I feel Jones derserves the #10 slot and Greb was the one who missed the cut.

It's quite a strong division so someone had to.

If anything, Harry Greb's quality of wins could put him ahead of Rosenbloom.

For sure. He was up for consideration aswell.

Rosenbloom beat an incredible amount of top ranked guys but the overall quality is lacking.

It's difficult isn't it. A lot of great fighters no list will be the same.

I think mines legitimate as is Jon's.

I'm getting old. My brain is too slow for witty banter these days.
