In Response To: Re: Top 5 USA all time? (sam maxwell)

Isn't this the premise of the new Rocky Movie? Comparing Athletes from different eras? I did like you analysis until the end. To imply that Jeff and Curt were "true amateur competing against full time pro's" is fine. But to try and lump in an Athlete that was USAW/USOC supported for most of his career, just goes against your argument.

BUTCH!
