    Cruiser has to be Holyfield.

    Also, was not Ricardo Lopez a flyweight? Either way, Jimmy Wilde is the greatest ever fly.

    Most would regard his absolute best as being at 168, but it's your poll.

    Vlad can be the greatest heavyweight of all time if he keeps fighting regularly and does not retire until around 37 or so. He could do it if he is injury free and he takes care of his healh.

    Head to head, I have Whitaker number 1 at lightweight. Duran is my number 2, but it's a close call and he could easily be number 1. Since this list is based more on accomplishments than actual head to head, I feel Leonard beat the better overall opposition at lightweight, such as Lew Tendler, Johnny Dundee, Willie Ritchie, Johnny Kilbane, Jack Britton, Freddie Welsh, and Rocky Kansas.
