Don't attempt to bamboozle the masses with your clever wordplay Mr Buzz. The land of Simdom shall remain the bastion of truth, honour & fair play and as such it shall not be seeing any major changes any time soon, I should think...

14 days to go. Exactly 2 weeks before this thread is finished...

Will Charles close the gap on Archie Moore?

Will Spinks catch up with Tunney or will "The Fighting Marine" pull away again?

Who will win the race for 5th between Foster & Langford, they do seem to be neck and neck all the way through thus far.

And who will complete our top 10 with a single point separating a legend from the ancient past, Bob Fitzsimmons and true great of modern times - Roy Jones Jr?

Every vote counts...

I had Greb higher at first then swapped him for Fitz. I've been doubting it ever since.

I haven't received it, Seamus.

I think it should be 138 and not 148 for Moore.

Fair enough. I'll recheck everything within the next 12 hours or so...

Moore 157 have

Nope, it's currently accurate at 148 pts (up to the 16th member's votes, Mr Give Up)

I think what has caused you to doubt that is because of the lead that Archie has over Ezzard... That comes down to Mr Give Up's list, when he gave Archie the 10 points & left Ezzard out of his list.

I quite agree Mr Tomasino. I always tend to put him in the same bracket as Joey Maxim. Both great fighters & very underrated sadly.

Thnx

Did anyone expect Moore to build such a lead?
I know that i didn't.

I already wrote a lot on the list is so.

Edit
many journalists hold Moore for No1

I think I gave Moore his lowest ranking.

No, since Charles hammered him while they were in their primes I expected him to be tops.

Not at all, it's cringeworthy.
