Finally, here's the top 10 Pound-for-Pound list for 1912. As usual, perf pts and then changes from last year are in parens.

1. Abe Attell, FW (WBA Champ) (1640) (NC)
2. Sam Langford, HW (WBA Champ) (1587) (NC)
3. Freddie Welsh, LW (WBA Champ) (1320) (+4)
4. Jack Blackburn, LW (NABF Champ) (1300) (NC)
5. Jack Johnson, HW (USBA Champ) (1264) (-2)
6. Packey McFarland, WW (NABF Champ) (1235) (+4)
7. Tommy Burns, HW (NABF, CBU Champ) (1185) (-1)
8. Jack Britton, WW (WBA Champ) (1177) (new)
9. Sam McVey, HW (no title) (1132) (new)
10. Jem Driscoll, LW (CBU Champ) (1128) (-1)

Dropped out from last year:

Joe Jeannette, HW (was #5)
Battling Nelson, LW (was #8)

NOTE: Britton and McVey were "new" only in the sense they were not on the list for the prior year (1911). Both were in the pound-for-pund list the year before (1910), and are returning after a year's hiatus.

Comments: Now there are 14 guys with 1000 or more pp, a slight but not huge increase over prior years. As these guys keep winning, the pp numbers grow, but if there's a big upset, could see the numbers go down. In a division like the HW, where there are several 1000 plus pp fighters, it's less likely to see that happen as they would most likely lose to each other.

Looking forward to hopefully start setting up Jan 1913 matchups later today or tomorrow. Did add one new LW (just posted recently by icetea) not mentioned in the above report (Johnny Ray) who is due to make his debut later in the year. Expect a longer turn-around, however, as I plan to run the 1913 bouts at a much more leisurely pace. Seems each new year in the Uni takes a bit longer to run. So my long-term goal of hitting the roaring twenties by New Years may be a bit unrealistic. Will keep plugging away as the game is still alot of fun for me.
