I think Light heav is probably the toughest to pick, with Spinks, Tunney, Greb, Charles, Moore, all desperately close and with little really to separate them. I can see why others might take Charles despite him never winning a title. Middleweight is another tough one with Hagler, Greb, and a few others being closer to Monzon than people often realise. Greb in particular has a very good claim. The others i think are reasonably settled with only 2 or three really being standouts.
Middle is prob

Re: the best in 8 weight divisions since 1910
That is a pretty good list. I agree that light heavyweight is the hardest one to call; there are several guys who are very close. I would chose Jofre at bantam, but otherwise am in agreement.Boilermaker wrote:HEAVY...Muhammed Ali

Re: the best in 8 weight divisions since 1910
robinson certainly was at his best at welter. its very tempting to put him in for middle too but greb just shades it for me
