from 130lbs to 160lbs in the modern era one man was a major threat to take a belt from any one. < ROBERTO DURAN > Mikey! Great Board.
And if I had to pick just one from that list it would be Eduardo Lausse. He was an amazing puncher. In his prime (mid 50's), lots of middleweights avoided him.
And here's me little faves Bantamweight: Jeff Chandler Jr.Featherweight: Wilfredo Gomez Featherweight: Jeff Fenech Jr.Lightweight: Alexis Arguello Lightweight: Edwin Rosario Jr.Welterweight: Whoever Welterweight: SRL Jr.Middleweight: Thomas Hearns Middleweight: SRR Lightheavyweight: Eddie Muhammad Heavyweight: Super Greg Page/Muhammad Ali
the heavyweight definitely need a mike tyson or joe louis. a lot of people will say ali but i don't know if ali would of had the smae magic in todays age. tyson, dempsey and joe louis brought an excitement for all ages
4 fighters that I thought of immediately when I seen the title of the thread were: Featherweight: Azumah Nelson Jnr. Lightweight: Rafael "Bazooka" Limon Lightweight: Ike Williams Middleweight: Carl "Bobo" Olson I'll have to think about the other fighters, alot of depth to each division.
Mine - in the original 8 - HW - Tyson (Louis or Johnson also , but i pick Tyson just because im a fan) LHW - Charles MW - Greb (just needs to be seen) WW - Robinson LW - Duran - imo he had the perfect style of fighting, when at 135 was the best blend of defence and offence ever to box. FW - Would have to be Pep , i notice there are a lot of fighters in my list , so some defensive brilliance should be included. BW - Jofre FLW - Lynch If i can add another 2 i would pick Pryor at 149 and McCallum at 154. I know i might have picked some very obvious choices , but these are just the ones i would like to see again . Also , Loughran was a very close choice at 175 , but Charles was brilliant and gets it
