    Harry Greb or Roberto Duran belong on that list in place of Joe Louis. Nothing against Louis, but I think one of those two belongs in the top five in his place.

        That is definitely a fair argument, brother.
        Its not a bad list though, any top 5 is arguable. Greb, Langford, Burley, Duran etc. etc. could be up there, though.

          From what i have researched and read, Armstrong was an amazing one in a lifetime fighter. He was champ in 3 weight classes and was held to a draw at his 4 th weight class, unreal. This was at a time when their where only 8 weight classes and everyone fought everyone, no ducking . I rate him over Ali who i still believe is slightly overrated but thats due to the media and casual boxing fans who catapult him into God like status.
