From the old timers, two little guys that come to mind are Terry McGovern and George Dixon.

"Bob Fitzsimmons PERHAPS"

That is all time winner--worthy of serving of a prime example of the cluelessness pervading these "boxing" websites.

So why do you come on here Gramps? If everybody is so clueless on here, why do you waste your time reading our posts which obviously wind you up so much?

i don't think fitzsimmons belongs as one of the best in any weight class but he is without question one of the pound for pound greats. i feel the same way about sam langford. fitzsimmons won the middle title and defended it once, won the heavy title and then lost in his first defense and did the same at light heavy. if you take what he did in each weight class it's hard to label him one of the best but if you put his whole record together, it's hard to question his greatness.

Remember that Granberry is the man who said that if a southpaw threw a right rook, he'd punch himself in the face. Also remember that Granberry was repeatedly caught lying in the "West Coast" thread.

Then dismiss his opinion, as it is worthless.

Thomas Hearns. Welter and Middle?

160 might be debatable.

Sounds like poor knucklez has gotten hit with TOO MANY "right rooks."

147 and 154. He's the greatest Jr. Middleweight of all time.

"147 and 154. He's the greatest Jr. Middleweight of all time." - IFF

I'm not sure I disagree with you. Who would you class as his competition at that weight, as well as the other first-class Jr. Middles?

Minotauro · Post by **Minotauro** » 04 May 2008, 08:17

Gene Tunney light heavy and possibly heavy
Harry Greb middle and light heavy
Mickey Walker welter and middle
Tony Canzoneri lightweight and light welter
Barney Ross lightweight and welter
