Cold Quote by Teddy Atlas
“Putting together an honest and responsible top 10 pound-for-pound fighters list is not so easy. Of course, such lists are subjective, but even so you must try to use cold and fact-oriented criteria for nomination. And even using strict calculus, in the end you will call on experience and even instinct to make a final analysis.”
