    I'm putting together a series of articles based on the greatest fighters of the original 8 weigh classes. But rather than me picking the fighters I believe to be the best, I want the public to vote. Of course, choosing 1 fighter per weight class will be next to impossible. So, you are allowed 3 Honourable Mentions per division ie, Heavyweight All Time Champion, Ali. Honourable Mentions Louis, Tyson and Holmes

    So, let me have it.

    Flyweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable mentions

    Bantamweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable Mentions

    Featherweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable Mentions

    Lightweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable Mentions

    Welterweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable Mentions

    Middleweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable Mentions

    LightHeavyweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable Mention

    Heavyweight All Time Champion:
    Honourable mentions

    Excellent list. I'd just probably add Bob Foster as honorable mention at LHW.

    I seriously dont see how anyone under the age of 30 could do a list like that.
    Whenever these threads pop up i read names that i have never heard of.
