    I forgot Henry Armstrong, alas you can mention him here and I'd count it.

    Naseem was one of those special once in a lifetime fighters. He may not have had the greatest resumes or achievements but he was different gravy in his prime. I don’t think his style will ever be replicated.

    It was literally just RJJ with a dash of Emanuel Augustus. He wasn't really unique.

    Ingle fighters before and since have fought that very style, just mostly with less flair and panache.

    Too many great FWs but if you have to choose just one on who was the GOAT at that weight it has to be Willie Pep.

    I think Arguello is the most devastating fighter to have made the weight but had bigger moments outside of the weightclass.

    Without a shadow of doubt. Azumah Nelson, Sandy Saddler and Salvador Sanchez stand alone.
