              Greatest fighters since 1944?

              1. Willie Pep (easily)
              2. Rocky Marciano
              3. Jake LaMotta
              4. Tony Zale (severely underrated, imo)
              5. Marcel Cerdan
              6. Carmen Basilio
              7. Gene Fullmer
              8. Joey Giardello
              9. Ken Buchanan
              10. Joey Maxim

              Rocky Graziano was an exciting slugger with a huge right hand, but he didn't do much aside from beating an old Zale once.

              Billy Conn was at the end of his career in 1944.

                For me, it could have been, the guy they called "The Great White Hope"
                Gerry Cooney and Tommy Morrison. But Cooney turned out to be just that - hope. and Morrison got HIV positive.
