I've seen a few threads here (best fight,best fighter) by division and thought this may be worth a try. I'm going to pass on posting mine and let some of you more knowledgeable folks take the lead.
Heavyweight-Peter Jackson Light Heavyweight - Tommy Gibbons Middleweight - Jeff Clark Welterweight - Tommy West Lightweight - Jack Blackburn Featherweight - Kid Chocolate Bantemweight - Flyweight - Newsbow Brown P4P - Sam Langford
glad you made a seperate status for him...he could've been the name at 160, 175 and heavy with little argument
been struggling myself ain't the smartest on here but i imagine flea, mcgrain or vic will have some names to throw in
Very tough not least because so many gained titles and recognitions that others do not agree with... Heavyweight: Jerry Quarry Light Heavyweight: Chris Finnegan Middleweight: Herol Graham Welterweight: Colin Jones Lightweight: Jack Blackburn 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'.
Frankie Burns must be the man at bantamweight. That is insane bad luck. Lightweight has the best crew of uncrowned champs for me.
Mempis Pal Moore at Bantam? Or Gilroy, or maybe the Jap, Takao Sakurai. Tough one though but I like Janitors picks with maybe McPartland.
