    It's almost impossible to limit my choices like this...for example, Carlos Zarate as hon. mention at bantam..and no mention at all of the great Wilfredo Gomez..who so profoundly and spectacularly destroyed him...

    Honourable mentions (no order)

    Hw: ali, johnson, holmes, lewis
    Lhw: greb, tunney, moore, dillon
    Mw: monzon, fitz, burley, robinson
    Ww: leonard, gavilan, walcott, napoles
    Lw: gans, leonard, whittaker, canzoneri
    Fw: sadler, arguello, chocolate, armstrong
    Bw: harada, zarate, olivares
    Flw: canto, wolgast, villa, perez

    My knowledge of bw and flw isn't up to scratch yet but limiting the other divisions to only 4 hm's is painful; how can it be so that guys like mickey walker, tommy ryan, tommy gibbons, packey mcfarland, sam langford and ike williams aren't even honourable mentions? A whole host of greats have graced our sport and a lot of those hm spots are completely interchangeable with other guys.

    Sarcasm implied before any particulars go off the deep end. Clearly, there have been ATG fighters and fights in such, but it makes them no more a necessity. It only dilutes things.

    Nobody is so naive to the bottom line, but I dont know a fan who wouldnt want 8 divisions with 1 champion a piece. Thats plenty enough for christ sakes
