    Realistic ranking of each weight since 1960 of each weight class? When I saw this i refer to the only real divisions-

    TOP 10-

    200 plus - Heavyweight

    200 - Cruiser

    175 - Light-heavy

    160 - middle

    147 - Welter

    135 - Lightweight

    126 - featherweight

    122 - Batamweight


    T. Hearns best was 154 but because boxing has devalued and watered down so many divisions...you have to either but his him for his 147 fights and 154 will have to count as 160 middleweight.


    Same with the likes of J. Toney, Joe Calzaghe stuff at 168 you will have to include him in the 175 division-


    Anyhow il give Welter a go-

    Welterweight 147-

    1. S.R. Leonard
    2. P. Whitaker
    3. T. Hearns
    4. F. Trinaded
    5. F. Mayweather
    6.S. Mosley
    7.O. De La Hoya
    8. M. Pacquaio
    9. José Nápoles
    10.M. Cotto

    problem is certain fighters lose point for not doing stuff in those weight classes.
