Thank you for that, that's a really fascinating thread. (Also slightly surreal to see a poster called Anorak join in to talk about Danny Williams... I promise that's not me).
It does show the flaws in the ratings... I had no idea that Tyson faced so many top 10 opponents, but one of them WASN'T Larry Holmes? Also, while I've never regarded Sam Peter that highly, I was shocked to see he wasn't in there either time Wlad fought him.
But as a system of ranking it's a useful tool, and a fascinating discussion topic. It's a shame that we don't get more threads like that here, instead of all the childish "hater" threads and the like.
I did see someone list Wilder's resume on here, and it was hilarious.
