Barney Ross & Tony Canzoneri - Greatest Lightweight Rankings
Posted: 24 Nov 2021, 17:18
Why does it seem that every greatest lightweight list ranks Canzoneri above Ross?
I have studied Ross' career in great depth, including his two fights with Canzoneri. I have not studied Canzoneri's entire career. However, I believe it is safe to say he was still in his prime when he met Ross. Both those fights were very competitive, but Ross won both decisions.
What I am I missing in arriving at the conclusion that Ross was the greater lightweight?
