No major surprises as far as the #1 guy in each decade, but there were some guys who made the top 10 that were a bit of a surprise. Hope you guys find it interesting.

Muchas gracias.

Just look at those names there. There are a couple of guys there from the 40's & 50's I'm not familiar with so I will have to do my homework.
It's interesting to see how many of those guys MOVED UP to MW with success and how many (or few) CAME UP from the lighter weights.
Judging by his lead in the 50's you would have to say that Sugar Ray Robinson is a stand-out at 147.

Much appreciated, thanks.
