how would you rank these tough world champions

[good right hand]

i wanted to rank all of the tough fighters that even though the lost around 10 times or so, rose up and became world champions

by ability

glenn johnson
freddie pendelton
mike weaver
james smith
steve little
javier jarugui
kelvin seabrooks
uriah grant


any others?

[McGrain]

James Braddock

I like that you've mentioned Johnson, I love that guy. When you line up his luck and his ability there's a huge disparity that's for sure. But he's more guts and work ability I suppose, though he's technically proficient.

Steve Little was the only World Champion there, the others held alphabet crap...

But anyway I would rank them

1 Pendelton
2 Johnson
3 Seabrooks
3 Weaver
4 Smith
5 Little
6 Jarugi
7 Grant

Others that come to mind:

Billy Backus
Juan Meza
Steve Robinson
Pipino Cuevas
Dennis Andries
Verno Phillips

Always had a soft spot for Johnson.

The man is more sweat than talent but he became Ring Magazines fighter of the year.

Bit of a latter day Jersey Joe Walcott or Jimmy Braddock.
