The best fighters alltime in every weight class

[Spicoli]

My lists tend to change more times then often but for the most part it's always one of 2 names for a div. it's simply a matter of fighters you know or don't. I can't rate Greg, Benny or Langford cause I just haven't seen enough of them to rate them.
So here goes:

Ali
Holyfield
Foster
Calzaghe
Monzon
Norris
SRR
JCC
Duran
Arguello
Sanchez
Morales
Olivares
Roman
Canto
Gonzalez
Lopez

Thats.........G.R.E.B Mick

Exactly my point.

Out of sight = Out of Mind Just Imagaine future fans with "all time" some thing or another list's trying to spell Klitschko Or Calzaghe . Much respect for thought out list though.Those top champs do not get enough mention today.

Cut me Mick's list is accurate, Went through lots of chips and beer Saturday and Sunday afternoons and in the seventies there were no VCRs but I had three television sets just in case and I would sometimes watch two fights at the same time but your list is on the money. CC

Thanks..
Heres CC#33 on me.
I sware I was born in the wrong era. I'm 25 I was born in 1981 but everything I like is from past eras. Music, women, fighters, cars.
I know someone screwed my B-Day up, I bet theres an old as man somewhere in a club trying to be 25 and playing loud rap music in his brand new car.
John, good thing theres TiVo now you can just record it or the old school way is always best have several TVs going at the same time.
I haven't seen you in a long time I think the last time I saw you post was sometime in August.
Hope all is good with you and hope to see you around more often. A young kid like me could learn a lot from someone like you who lived thru moments I could only live by trying to find a video on or articles and books.
Thanks.

Agree with just about all of this, but do you really think Norris was better than Hearns?

[ICB]

Been a while since i have seen a list i just want to hear who you think was the best in every divison.

HW Larry Holmes
CW Evander Holyfield
LHW Micheal Spinks
SMW Joe Calzaghe
MW Carlos Monzon
LMW Tommy Hearns
WW SRL
LWW JCC
LW Suger Shane Mosley
SFW JMM
FW Willie Pep
Be honest i do not follow to many people after feather weight

Not if you are right or wrong just in your thoughts not others who you think is the best. I expect alot of people to have different fighters then me because my list is a bit weird.

Heavyweight = Muhammad Ali
Cruiserweight = Evander Holyfield
Lightheavyweight = Ezzard Charles
Supermiddleweight = Joe Calzaghe
Middleweight = Carlos Monzon
Lightmiddleweight = Terry Norris
Welterweight = Sugar Ray Robinson
Lightwelterweight = Aaron Pryor
Lightweight = Roberto Duran
Superfeatherweight = Alexis Arguello
Featherweight = Willie Pep
Superbantamweight = Wilfredo Gomez
Bantamweight = Ruben Olivares
Superflyweight = Khaosai Galaxy
Flyweight = Jimmy Wilde
Lightflyweight = Michael Carbajal
Minimumweight = Ricardo Lopez

FW FENECH

3 very interesting choices.
Especially Jeff listed twice.

So here goes:
Norris

'Terrible' Terry... Well SweetPea I guess I could have/should have specified that my list was also leaned towards the following (along with what I said above) skill, accomplishments, reign as champ & opposition.
To be more clear what leads me towards Norris was his loooong stay there while Hearns just kinda jumped in and out.
