    Default Greatest Of All Time; at All Weight Classes

    Ok. This took some time but it's still very rough and can be subject to change but heres what Ive got so far:

    Heavyweight- Joe Louis
    Lt. Heavyweight- Archie Moore
    Cruiserweight- Evander Holyfield
    Super Middleweight- Chris Eubank
    Middleweight- Carlos Monzon
    Lt. Middleweight- Nino Benvenuti
    Middleweight- Carlos Monzon
    Welterweight- Sugar Ray Robinson/ Henry Armstrong
    Light Welterweight- Aaron Pryor
    Lightweight- Benny Leonard
    Super Featherweight- Alexis Arguello
    Featherweight- Willie Pep
    Super Bantamweight-
    Bantamweight- Eder Jofre
    Suer Flyweight- Khaosai Galaxy
    Flyweight- Jimmy Wilde
    Light Flyweight-
    Minimumweight- Ricardo Lopez

    I do feel like i'm forgetting some but like I said, this is real rough. I'm not to sure who has been great at Light Flyweight and Super Bantamweight though. I could use a little help on those. What do ya think?

    Did you make this up on the spot?

    First of all there are plenty of guys who beat Joe Louis for greatest all time, and guys who would destroy him.
    1. Ali 2. Tyson 3. Foreman 4. Holyfield 5. Lewis 6. Frazier 7. Homles, and it goes on
    2. I can name three guys better at LHW than Archie who deserve it more Jones, Conn, Charles.
    3. SMW is easily Jones he would have beaten EUbank up and down the street.
    4. Hagler or HOpkins are both better than Monzon.
    5. Lightmiddleweight I say WInky beats him and so does Leonard, Hearns, early Roy.
    6. Henry wasn't that good at welterweight and though he won the title doesn't put him at the top you have to have Leonard up there with RObinson
    7. Pernell Whitaker would be in my books or Mayweather
    lightweight: Duran is easily more successful than Leonard, and I think Mosley beats him as well.
    Super feather weight: Mayweather Jr.
    featherweight- I agree

    I think he means on what they achieved not in 1 on 1 that they would beat everyone at there weight classes

    Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, and Bob Foster were all close to call I will give you that

    Hagler could take the number one spot. I wont argue that but a close call again.

    No way does SRL beat out SRR ever at Welterweight. That one isnt changing. Armstrong was a great Welterweight too but I can see SRR being #1


    .....I made the list pretty quickly so its not yet perfect

    I didn't put Leonard at Welterweight i think you misread it but on your Flyweight one change it to Jimmy Wilde.

    Exactly. What theyve acheived at that weight. Thats the ony reason you dont see Guys like SRL, Hearns etc. I think Ali would have beaten Louis but that doesnt matter

    hes definately up there but i dont think hes above SRR at Welter. If enough people think i got it wrong ill change it though my opinion could easily be off and Leonard was an amazing Welterweight
