    With the overall level of maturity on this board i think this little task has a good chance at staying objective and not dissolving into a race war. The resukt i think could be interesting. Not sure i myself can pick worthy contenders in all classic weightclasses but im sure you guys can. Fighters that fought at the respective sub-divisions may be used

    Bob Foster was white? I know he can't dance, can't shuffle, and he don't write no poems but I'm pretty sure he's black.

    limited knowledge, but i say hagler, leonard, whitaker, and maybe prime joe frazier. the way he went toe to toe against ali and presented a moving target, i think his style would give the klitchkos fits, as they are accustomed to fighting poor opposition. not their fault of course

    Pick´em. I rate Olivares higher at Bantam but I think if they match-up Harada would outwork him to a tight decision.

    edit:
    I have to admit I´m no expert on the weightclasses under feather, I´ve seen all of them, as far as there is something to see, but probably not as much as many others on here.

    This is confusing for UK fans. The funny thing we people from the UK associate Asian peoples as those from India and Pakistan. Peoples of south East Asia we call oriental or from the Far East. Arabs come from the middle east.

    On a serious note though, which of Galaxy's arms/legs are to be cut off in order for him to make the Flyweight limit?

    Well, no, actually, he wouldn't. He was a monstrous Super Flyweight as it was.

    Also, wouldn't "Panama" Al Brown be in the Latin category? His name would certainly suggest so.
