    You really need to go back far to find someone great. I should have qualified the last 30 years or so. I was just astounded that there was hardly anyone celebrated since Ray boom boom

    Not really because it begs a question of why theyve disappeared for the lower weighclasses. You actually have to include Hatton somewhere around the top.

    Pep and Leonard. Maybe Lew Tendler also. He was considered the greatest southpaw for a very long time.

    I meant the last 30 years or so. Hattons accomplishments pretty much puts him near the top along with Kostzya like BD mentioned.

    The last great little Caucasion fighter, was probaly ken Buchannan, and your going back to the early 70's for that one..
    He was AHEAD of Roberto until Duran smashed him in the nuts a very long time ago..
    Small Caucasions just don't do well in the light weightclasses..
    They bleed easy, and don't have the speed..
