    If I'm not mistaken Rosenbloom has beaten more ranked fighters than anyone else in boxing history. He's top 5 in my book.

      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.
      He did, and he did beat Mickey Walker as well. Probably his best win, would you agree?

      The LHW division is so rich, it's hard to choose a top 5, never mind a top 10.

      I know my top 5 would include Moore, Charles, Tunney, Greb & spinks.

      the bottom 5 would include Loughran, Rosenbloom Conn, Foster and Johnson I think.

      The almosts include Jones, Saad Muhammad, Bivins etc.

      If I had to take someone out of the top 10 I posted, it would probably be Foster and replace him with Jones.

      I don't know. It's tough.

        More than Charles? I'm not sure, he did beat a lot.

        I just think if you look at Greb's resume - he has outstanding wins like a Gene Tunney (should have gotten more than the one), Loughran etc.

        It's obviously a tough one, but I think Greb's best wins are better than Rosenbloom's best wins, which puts him just a spot or two higher for me.

                  They both have Loughran in the Top 10.
