Tough one though but I like Janitors picks with maybe McPartland.
Oh. Okay.

Featherweight: Pat Cowdell

Bantamweight: Johnny Brown, although Al Francis' (rightly) may debate that.

Flyweight: Dai Dower

This is a starting point, already it is clear Blackburn was better than Diaz, and he won no 'title'.
Quarry above Langford?

Holman Williams beat better guys than Burley in the same era, for me.

FLY- Newsboy Brown has a title claim that was recognised so i'd leave him out. Haven't seen a better name than Dai Dower yet.

Tied series. I think Burley got the better of it, but I don't think you can paint a picture of any kind of dominance.

Fly - Halimi Gutierrez
Bantam - Jesus Pimental/Joe Medel
Feather - Owen Moran
Jr. Light - Tyrone Everett
Light - Billy Petrolle/Freddie Dawson
Jr. Welter - Kenny Lane/Hector Thompson
Welter -Holman Williams
Jr. Middle - Tony Ayala
Middle - Charley Burley
Lt. Heavy - Jimmy Bivins
Heavy - Zora Folley

I threw a few out there just to be different. Also, no champs from another division, so no Ezz Charles at 175 or Jeff Fenech at 130. BTW, there are no wrong answers on this one, so lets have some fun.

My list does its best to rate only fighters who had no recogintion of any world title.
