[Slugfester]

Not only underappreciated but also do not generate much chatter among fans or on forums.
You might have a different idea.

1 Henry Armstrong
2 Mickey Walker
3 Sonny Liston
4 Gene Fullmer
5 Benny Leonard

7 Tiger Flowers
8 **** Tiger
9 Mike Gibbons
10 Hector Camacho

As far as the 'chatter on board' I would suggest that Burley doesn't belong on the list. He gets spoken of often by fight fans.

The other nine I agree with. Not enough discussion about them.

For the tenth I would add Holman Williams instead.

Yes, you are right. That is why I put a question mark after Burley.

Winky Wright should be on the list

Harold Johnson
Carlos Ortiz
Ezzard Charles
Emile Griffith
Alexis Arguello

That may be. If you are boring, it is harder to make even such a list, I suppose, because people simply do not want to discuss or defend you. Wright was definitely a hard man to beat. Could have beaten a lot of good ones.

Harold Johnson
Carlos Ortiz
Ezzard Charles
Emile Griffith
Alexis Arguello

I don't agree with Charles at all. That man gets plenty of "press," with half the people on modern forums parroting that he is underrated. And he is always #1 or #2 in AT light heavyweight rankings. A man to whom that has happened has already arrived, is no longer underrated or under acknowledged.

I will go for the other 4. I almost put Johnson myself. He would have been a better choice than Burley.

Ortiz gets absolutely no attention, does he?

I just think that in the grand scheme of things, Charles rarely get's mentioned as one of the top ATG's. When in my mind, you could argue he's #1. But I do agree he get's his fair share of praise on Forums.

In regards to Ortiz, no he doesn't. For me, he's minimum top 3 Lightweight of all time. I have him at #1.

I will take a more thorough look at Ortiz. No time like the present.
