Didnt expect to see Schmeling or Watt pop up but each to his own, im sure some of my picks seem odd too.

Most of mine are more modern, and thats purely because i feel a stronger connection with modern fighters having watched them live, come through the ranks and got the buzz around them during big fight weeks and stuff

[SCtrojansbaby]

Why not?

Schmeling was a very noble person who hated being a **** pawn and looked after two ***ish children from the ******s. Also he used to irritate Hitler and stood up to him.
The fact he helped pay for Louis' funeral says something about the man also.
