Those three being?

Duran, Shane and Benny Leonard

Good list, I'd throw Floyd in there too.

I was thinking about him and Chavez but thought they did not do enough at the weight.

What about the old fighters like Joe Gans, Barney Ross, Armstrong, Ambers, Montgomery, Beau Jack, Ike Williams. Some of those on video look monsters.

Floyd didn't stay there long but averaging how great he was at 130 and 140 I think it's safe to say he'd have been great at 135 had he stayed there. He for sure could have competed with Sweet Pea at the very least. Tough fight for both guys. Pea was very physically strong and dug hard to the body.
