I've been posting my division by divison all time rankings on here for a while now (hope some of you will have read them) and I have to say it has genuinely bothered me that I left Lloyd Marshal off my lists. He could and probably should have been ranked at both light heavy and middleweight. Yet I left him off both.
I have plenty of **** going on in my life yet when I get a quiet moment to reflect on things it is the question of where to rank Marshal that still plagues me.
It bothers me that he is so overlooked, yet I have overlooked him myself.
For shame!

All I can say is this: Guys who can rank, and do it with care and thought get my respect. I have a very hard time ranking fighters who are great and in the same class...I get to figuring that some of the decisions no doubt were off, that maybe but for a bad camp, or a bad day, history would be different... I feel much more comfortable understanding that fighers exist in "classes."
This seemingly trivial point defines for me the feelings I get watching Klitschko fight a guy who, in most sports would be an amateur, while people gush.... It defines for me the accomplishment that a guy like Miguel Cotto achieved when, while not able to beat Mayweather, was competative, in the same class....
What is wonderful is that Moore Robinson and Charles left us a lot of material with which to evaluate their skills.
