        These outrageously shitty rankings just solidified Cliff Rold's own ranking, as one of the top 3 p4p biggest ******s in boxing journalism. Trailing only Michael Marley and reigning p4p king, Scoop Malinowski.

          Floyd should be ahead of Manny as well.

          Props on the list though, to dude who made it, must've been fun.
          It was. Holy could have slid a little. I think the right guys are there for the various decades, though I'm sure there could be a couple ins and outs. Debating the where is the point. Glad folks can have at it.

            Cliff Rold along with Jake Danovan, Kenneth Bouharie, and Thomas Hausser are the best journalists in boxing right now...

            You should be banned just mentioned Marley and Scoop with any of these great writers.

              I'd have Marvelous over SRL for that decade.

              but good list.

                    Like I said in my first post, very solid lists.

                    I wasn't suprised when I found out they were yours.

                    I would argue not having Tiger in the Top 5 for the 60's is criminal.

                      If they have me back for the 100th, I'm sure I'll have changed my mind some (again). I think I might have went too low for Ali in the 70s. He had some huge wins and performances, but I struggle with how often he half assed it outside those along with some questionable d's and the excellence of younger, more prime men in the decade. P4P, tough question.

                      I'm also still heavily wrestling with Norris at all in the 90s (he was 10th). Eventually, it's deadline and time to hit send. The decades I didn't see live I felt better on because I'm less attached to the times.
