I'd put him around 45-55 mark (just to be difficult :P )
Altho If he were to rematch B-Hop and beat him again and then beat Dawson that would push him into the early 20's IMOComment

What a ridiculous jump, 20 places for beating the same guy again. Good god. These are the kind of ridiculous things some people think are accurate on things like thing, so there's no chance for any consensus.
I tend to go with Battheman on polls like this. It's very difficult to really know where would be roughly right for all time, considering how many decades back your talking about. People listing specific numbers seems odd to me, because it suggests they've actually worked out the say 54 people in-front of said person. I doubt they have, and I'm realistic about the fact I couldn't so abstain from voting so accurately, or confidently for those reasons.
I respect more someone being realistic with just how truly difficult to rank ATG over scores of years. I sense I'd place him above 50, not higher then 20. That's a wide bracket that's realistic not just shouting a number, and without really sitting down going through scores of fighters in detail in an endless debate, it would be tricky to even narrow down to a bracket of ten.
It took Glenn Mcrory, Frank Warren and an old respected boxing journalist from the Guardian I think it was, an hour long program to decide the top 10 British guys ever, and even they couldn't agree. As for all fighters from around the world from all time with hundreds of people, you have a recipe for disaster.Comment

The victory over 40yr old, 3-3 in his last six fights Roy seals it.
Honestly, I can probably think of 20 fighters off the top of my head better. Gimme an hour and it'll jump to 75.Comment
