    OK, tentatively only because i'm not sure I can be arsed, but here's a start and we'll see how much interest there is.

    Tier I
    Kid McCoy, Beau Jack, Tiger Flowers, Eddie Booker, Jeff Smith, Pancho Villa, Sammy Mandell, Kid Chocolate, Johnny Dundee, Sammy Agnott.

    Tier II
    Bob Montgomery, Jeff Fenech, Eusebio Pedroza, Nino Benvenuti, Joe Calzaghe, Ad Wolgast, Midget Wolgast, Billy Petrolle.

    Tier III
    Aaron Pryor, Antonio Cervantes, Joe Brown, Joe Calzaghe, Marcel Cerdan, Battling Battalino, Fidel LaBarbara, Sammy Fuller.

    TIER IV
    Mike Tyson, Bud Taylor, Frankie Genaro, Flash Elorde, Battling Nelson, Freddie Miller, Les Darcy, Joe Lynch.

    TIER V
    Jack Dempsey, Harry Wills, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries, Sonny Liston, Jimmy Barry.

    Wonjongkam? No chance.

    Where is Ernesto Marcel? Pedroza was a paper champ his defences counter zilch until Sal' dies.

    Why not? Too short a spell as linear? That is an enormous number of defences of his straps, and he was #1 in that division for a huge amount of time.

    You tell me...

    I don't think there's much in it really...almost nothing I guess.
