#3 for me, behind Greb and Robinson. Could be as low as #4 (behind Langford), but no lower the way I see it. Although I'm sure the Charles brigade will be here any minute to tell me otherwise.

Then, if we only by quality of opposition at lw, Ike Williams should be the best lw ever. Because I do not see no lightweight in history, like Joe Gans, Benny Leonard or Carlos Ortiz included, having the great quality of opposition that Williams had at 135lbs.scotto wrote:armstrong was the number one lw of all time duran cannot be considered at lw because of the level of competion. who did duran beat at lw? this is not aknock of duran but face facts buchcan viruet dejesus and a bunch of unknowns are not big time wins.
