THE BEST EVER-THE LETTER A

Ring.com is putting together a 26 part series naming the very best fighters in history alphabetically. My kinda fun!

http://www.ringtv.com/blog/2203/the_best_of_all_time_a_to_z_armstrong/

Henry Armstrong is the choice.

Honorable mentions go to Muhammad Ali, Alexis Arguello, Abe Attel, Sammy Angott and Lou Ambers.

The only other name who MIGHT have deserved an honorable mention was Fred Apostoli.

This series will create a lot of grist for the mill.

with out a doubt its Henry Armstrong

the real question is does Sugar Ray go under R or W?????

You mean "S" Walker Smith Junior.

Given that they put Armstrong under "A" rather than under Jackson (his real last name), my guess is it is Robinson.

or 'L'.

DOH again

I can't think of any A's at the moment...

What are they going to do for "X"?

bet they go with Cassius X since he was known as that for about 10 days

Great idea.

There HAD to be some guy who converted to Islam and used the X appellation in a fight.

Or they are going to cheat and there's some guy first named Xerxes who'll get it.
