    You can always do your homework though on fighters from the past. There is no footage of Harry Greb fights but I know he was a tremendous great fighter. By newspaper accounts by reading **** from people who did see him. And, looking at his record and seeing how many HOF'ers/ATG's he fought. I mean all you have to do is your homework on fighters.

      I dont have a list because Ill admit I havent seen many of those fighters on that list fight, not once, and Im sure 100% on this forum hasnt seen every fighter on that list fight, let alone be able to put out a list to be taken seriously and even if you saw them fight a person would not come close to understanding where to rate them, simply because they werent around during those times to analyze the landscape of boxing and know fully what was going on. Thats like someone 80 years from now not knowing everything we know today and rate Mayweather, Pacquiao, etc..., you have to have some understanding of the climate of boxing, the news, the going ons of that era/day to even begin to put a list together.

            Doesnt take balls, it takes common sense, every list Ive seen someone put up I can tell they simply took someones list, say Burt Sugar or someone and changed names around to their liking, you wouldnt need to do that if you could put your own list together.

                I know that but I can't just judge by records man. I have to see them fight. To me it's important. Like ok what did this and that guy do better?? I wouldn't be able to explain on why in depth. If you get what I'm saying??

                  So if you don't have the knowledge how can you criticize someone else? Hell, show us your top 10. If you can't you shouldn't be making comments such as you have.

                      Lol, oh ok, you don't know most of the fighters but you can tell it came from another list. Who's list was the TS before he posted Nostradamus?
