I agree with those who think it would be wrong to change the process in the middle. We should let this round take its course and consider any changes for next time around.

Personally I'd say next round lets elect the 5 people who get the most votes, regardless of what percentage they get.

Thanks for the info everyone.

It was well checking some things out for my hall of fame ballot that I came across Loi - I certainly considered him for it, but wanted to know more. I might well include him next time.

Anybody know anything about this guy? I was doing some research the other day and came across his record. On paper it looks very good. He only lost 3 times in 126 fights, avenged all three, and was never stopped. He was twice light-welterweight champ, and held several regional titles at light and at...

Willard w unan Witherspoon

Walcott w split Patterson
Sharkey w split Spinks

I like the concept here. It could showcase some interesting matchups we don't normally consider. Re other fighters you could include, I think Spinks would be a good choice - he definitely fits the caretaker category coming as he did between Holmes and Tyson. Another name for consideration - Michael ...

Good list, Taverner. Of course there are some close calls in some cases which makes it hard. Tony Mundine was also the one guy that I would certainly take out. Possibly Bobby Watts (as expug suggested) or maybe Hugo Corro should make the list. Also think that Bobo Olson at #2 for the 1950's is a bi...

moore was a very good middleweight, but # 1 of the decade is a joke. he was not a great middleweight. he was a far better 175lb That's exactly how I see it. This highlights one problem with doing these rankings that I didn't anticipate when I started out, that is knowing exactly how good a fighter ...

Finnegan gave Hagler 2 very close fights in the late 70s and had 3 thrillers with Minter... Griffith was still one of the top middles in the world up to the mid 70s and pushed Monzon hard in two title bouts while Monzon crushed Mundine when they fought.... Finnegan had 3 thrillers with Minter, but ...

Nice work. One question - Tony Mundine as #4 middleweight of the 70's???? That's a bit flattering. In the 5 years he spent at 160 in the 70's he got blasted out every time he stepped into real world class. OK, he beat a couple of names who were at the end of their careers and a fringe contender in ...

Wasn't Robinson a welterweight in the 40s?

I have O'Dowd. You are right about Gibbons, I totally forgot him. McGoorty seemed to lose to the top guys. I admit I know nothing about Clabby so you may be right.

Being new here, I have been reading some of the old posts. In the thread about greatest heavyweights of the decades it was suggested someone tackle the middleweights next. I can't see that anyone ever did it, so I thought I'd give it a try. I don't claim to be an expert, so any comments are welcome,...

I think a points system is best. Provided you have enough ballots the odd rogue entry shouldn't skew things too much. The trouble with excluding high and low scores is what happens to fighters who only appear on a couple of ballots - they would end up with nothing. Besides, since it is all opinion, ...

Seamus - don't worry about provoking me. I agree that Pedroza could be a dirty fighter, but I still think he was a very good one as well.
