To me, Duran was the best of the last 50 years.

To me, Armstrong was the best ever.

#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.
