Chief,
I'll admit I'm biased, but I think Codie Bontz deserves a spot in the top 10 All-class. His losses are to #4 Blew (leading 4-3 in 3rd when he fell victum to the pinning machine), #5 Oliver (1-5 and 3-5), #6 Little (6-12), #8 B.T. O'Hara (has gone 2 and 1).
In making the case for putting him at #8, in his 3 bouts with B.T. he won the first match 2-1 in an o.t. match we would have liked to have seen continued but B.T. called for stalling. Second match was not close at 5-1 and the final third bout ended in 4 overtimes with B.T. riding Codie out. However I and many others would argue that the match should have ended with :17 left in the 3rd with a clear takedown by Codie.
His only loss to a wrester not listed in your top 8 was Schwager who he traded 1 for 1 lossing when suffering a bout of the flu.
