    Calzaghe should have gotten the 168lb fighter.

    decent list.

    calzaghe should have got 168
    Monzon should have got 160

    agree with the rest

    A very good list, although he missed to include Flyweight, which should have Jimmy Wilde as best fighter.

    Jones was BETTER at 168 than Calzaghe in terms of ability, Calzaghe was GREATER at the weight in terms of achievement.

    Greb is a tricky case since he had such an amazing resume, but the only film of him is some really sloppy sparring.

    Greb at MW is odd in a sense that a lot of greatness comes from his wins at LHW and HW.

    Fighters should be based on resume because ability is even more subjective

    he doesn't have the best resume at the weight and you can argue as much as you want who was going to win between him and Ali but you can not prove it. What is certain is that Ali beat more HOF and ATG in their primes

    So am I the only one that noticed they completely skipped Flyweight?

    Apart from that, probably the best list I've ever seen on that dreadful site. Galaxy ain't the #1 Jr. Bantam, though.

    Calzaghe over Jones?

    Calzaghe didnt beat a prime future HOFer!

    Great list by the way.
