...confining myself to just one per weight class.....and only 8 weight classes...

heavy.....joe louis
light heavy...ezzard charles
middle.....sugar ray robinson
welter.....sugar ray robinson
lightweight...ike williams
feathrweight.....willie pep

no choices in the two smallest...though based on his recors i think i'd be picking eder jofre if i had ever seen him.

if i'm not allowed to put sugar ray in two divisions, make it lamotta at middle.

BB---Actually, I don't care anything about any heavyweight today, but instead of leaving it blank, I picked Brewster, who I guess I like best of the heavyweights...I don't think he is the best heavyweight though...that would fall probably to Chris Byrd, or James Toney, but to be honest I don't really give a shit about the division any more and until another genuine heavyweight destroyer comes alone, I'll just watch the division with the slightest interest, mainly just to keep on top of who holds the belts and who shows actual promise!
