    Sorry to be a pain asking questions, but before i go, are we talking 'greatest' or can i factor in who i think is the 'best'? Or is it just a combination of things, as in no strict criteria? Sorry mate.

    Those are some interesting decisions, the last two sound reasonable to me but Armstrong over Pep? I would like to hear that argument.

    I'm basing these rankings on what each fighter natural at the weight was able to accomplish in his entire career.
