    If you only follow a select weight classes list em. And if your favorite fighter fought at multiple weight classes list the weight class he accomplished the most OR where you believe he looked the best at. So lets say he fought one fight there but he was magnificent, then you could say that was your favorite weight for that fighter.


    Featherweight: Yoriorkis Gamboa
    Super Featherweight: Eric Morales
    Lightweight: Pernell Whitaker
    Junior Welterweight: Floyd Mayweather
    Welterweight: Tommy Hearns
    Super Welterweight: Oscar De La Hoya
    Middlweight: Harry Greb
    Super Middleweight: Roy Jones Jr
    Light Heavyweight: Gene Tunney
    Cruiserweight: Evander Holyfield
    Heavyweight: Joe Louis

    I really cant pick an all-time one, id have like three guys for each weight. Odd that you picked Greb, there is barely(if even) any footage of him.

    We only have training footage of him. But I read his press clippings all of the time and he was awesome. Hell my second favorite middleweight is Stanley Ketchel.

    I agree, he was great, but I would want to see somebody fight before I called them one of my favorites though. Shame there isnt any footage of his fights.

    Well I never saw Alexander the Great fight and I know he was a badass. Kind of the same way here.

    dude, harry greb is an investment worth the time. probably the best fighter of all time, along with sam langford could have dominated any era at almost any weight from middle to heavy
