In Response To: Top 5 USA all time? (Don Weideman)

I agree on the Pete George selection. Another one that should not be forgotten is Stan Stanczyk who won six world titles including three at different weight categories (67.5,75,82.5). As to who he should replace it's a very difficult question.

One might also question Barski's inclusion in a Top 5 on grounds similar to Andy's since his years at the top were fewer than the others. Longevity should count for something here.

But that's just my opinion.
