    Name your top-10 all-time list at 105-130 lbs.

    Guys like De la Hoya can't be on that list as he only had 2 fights where he weighed 130 or less.

    Is your list based on resume or h2h ability?

    Well it's who you beat that is most important. So resume, primarily.

    What a great list! Given some time I might add or take a name away, but really can't improve on this.

    One or two of my guys have ventured up to 135, but I've basically concentrated on guys who did the lion's share of their best work at Super-Feather or lower. The ordering isn't random by any means, but a couple might be swapped round if I'd had more time to properly ponder it. Guys who competed for a while at 130 or lower, but whose careers generally peaked and lasted longer in the higher weights (Mayweather, Chavez, Pacquiao, De la Hoya etc) weren't considered for those reasons.

    1) Willie Pep
    2) Sandy Saddler
    3) Alexis Arguello
    4) Eder Jofre
    5) Salvador Sanchez
    6) Azumah Nelson
    7) Jimmy Wilde
    8) Ricardo Lopez
    9) Fighting Harada
    10) Vicente Saldivar

    Near misses: Barrera, Morales, Fenech, Galaxy, Genaro, Canto, Zarate etc.
