[JazMerkin]

Heavyweight - Muhammad Ali
Cruiserweight - Evander Holyfield
Light-Heavyweight -Michael Spinks
Super-Middleweight - Joe Calzaghe
Middleweight - Marvin Hagler
Light-Middleweight - Mike McCallum
Welterweight - Sugar Ray Robinson
Light-Welterweight - Aaron Pryor
Lightweight - Pernell Whitaker
Super-Featherweight - Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Featherweight - Willie Pep
Super-Bantamweight - Wilfredo Gomez
Bantamweight - Ruben Olivares
Super-Flyweight - Khaosai Galaxy
Flyweight - Jimmy Wilde
Light-Flyweight - Michael Carbajal
Minimumweight - Ricardo Lopez

I've only picked guys that I've seen a fair bit of footage of, hence why Armstrong & Benny Leonard miss out at 135, & with the new divisions, some of these guys wouldn't make it into my all-time Top 75 probably, whilst other divisions have so many choices that if I did it again I might change things.

That's a pretty good list. I'm not so sure about McCallum though. Depends what you mean by best I suppose. Personally I think a guy like Hearns or Leonard would have beaten McCallum at JMW, but they didn't stick around long enough in that division. Same sort of thing with Aaron Pryor. I can think of a few guys that's I'd favor over Pryor at that weight, but again they didn't stick around long enough.

That's why I think these kind of "Best at each weight" lists don't mean much, too many better fighters fall through the cracks because they moved through the divisions too quickly.

Pryor I think was unbeatable at that weight at the time, although a fight between him & Duran would've been class & the aren't many I can see beating him there, maybe slick boxers. But like you say, some guys just move through divisions too quickly. I thought about putting Hearns at LMW, but he just wasn't there long enough & largely fought welters moving up. Similarly, Roy Jones is the best fighter to have fought at SMW for me, but he wasn't there long enough & Calzaghe is the only elite fighter to have really made the division his own
