Two Questions

Well marble as i said before being heavyweight champ and being a top ten heavy of all time is big thing. I kinda don't give much credit to many weights after 126 i think pools are not enough alot of part timers.

I could certainly see the logic in saying heavies and flyweights deserve less credit becasue there are fewer people that size in the human distribution etc. But featherweights and bantams? Arguably each is richer in history than light heavy.

I don't consider Charley Burley an ATG.

I don't consider Charley Burley an ATG.

May I humbly ask why not?

83 wins. Six wins over HOFers (though a losing record overall) and 20 wins from 147-175 over ranked guys (when the sport had only 88 ranked guys).

Well Marble don't really agree i feel Heavyweights have been life line to the sport over the years. I would not compare them to flyweight at all in terms of talent or being held as highly.

I am crushed!

Boy I sure would in terms of quality in the ring. The heavies in the last 110 years have had what? Two great eras, two really good ones and the rest not so much. The 112's have had great eras in the early mid 1920's, the early 1960's, the early 1970's and good eras in the mid late 1950's, the late 1980's, the mid 1990's and the rest not so much.

In terms of public attention I'm not sure all the other divisions combined equal the heavies.

Thanks as always for your thoughts!

Maybe i am just not a fan oh boxing as much as you. I can't for the life of me get into low weights i mean fuck there midgets practically and most of them are part time fighters. If flyweight were to leave not many people give a shit. But with out the Heavyweight division boxing kinda goes down a lot pretty much and that may be wrong way to think but i pretty sure its the truth.
