As a historian first, and boxing expert second, it is absolutely my pleasure to serve everyone with my over sixty plus years of involvement in boxing. I am delighted with the many comments and input that I receive. I truly intend to always be honest, respectful and honor others opinions.
I have many stories and have been blessed to have met the best boxers in world, with my #1 being Sugar Ray Robinson, and the five men who I consider to have been the greatest boxing historians in my lifetime – Al Nelson, Nat Fleischer, Bert Sugar Hank Kaplin, and Don Fraser. They provided a wealth of knowledge beyond belief in the sport that I have personally been attached to for 62 years, and counting.
It is interesting that each of these five legendary historians all have different rankings in order of the greatest boxers P4P of all time. If they all agreed, this topic would become boring. On this much debated subject, here is my own personal ranking of the top dozen (12) greatest P4P boxers, at the height, peak, prime, pinnacle of their respective careers. Listed alphabetically they are Muhammad Ali, Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran, Joe Gans, Harry Greb, Eder Jofre, Jack Johnson, Benny Leonard, Joe Louis, Carlos Monzon, Willie Pep, and Sugar Ray Robinson.

Along the way, I have been truly blessed to become acquainted with a wonderful array of fans, with some becoming the closest of friends.
I am also grateful to have a special core group of people that have enhanced the success of the website. First off is John Boitnott, who had the vision to believe in me and was the first webmaster. After serving a trial period learning the mechanics of a website, I am now a proud producer.
There are others in that group who have certainly contributed to the continuing success, and I’ll start with a trio of individuals that are no longer with us (R.I.P.) – may their souls rest peacefully in heaven – Rusty Rubin, Harold Lederman, and Jim Amato. These three have provided a wealth of boxing knowledge to the website.
Rusty was my first writer and featured his monthly column, “In Rusty’s Corner”, and also “Glove2Glove” which offered prayers for the sick, needy, and deceased.
Harold provided his own video shorts called “Hey Harold!” which previewed upcoming major fights to be shown on HBO World Championship Boxing.
Jim was nothing less than brilliant with featured stories on boxers of the past and present. His expertise as a true boxing historian was priceless.
