I mean for sheer dominance id go with Joe

If we go with who is the best at every division in some sort of hypothetical tournamenet i wouldnt pick him

At 168 i think rjj beats everyone in history. But he barely fought at that division. If that makes any sense

So far.. sounds like... we have some solid candidates...

105 - Lopez
115 - Galaxy
168 - Calzaghe
126 - Pep
122 - Gomez

Agree/disagree with the list and order?
You could make the case that Andre Ward has Calzaghe beat. I personally wouldn't, but it's not an outrageous argument to make. Those 2 are neck and neck at the top of that division. Similar to Holyfield and Usyk at Cruiser.

Maybe Eder Jofre at Bantamweight? Or Roman Gonzalez at 108?

You could have similar things with say Tommy Hearns at 154. He didn't have a long history in the division, but it's hard to imagine too many top guys in the divisions history beating him.
