Middleweight is clearly Fitzsimmons, I mean what is the case for the rest? For lightheavyweight I'd say Moore though Foster is also good mention. Heavyweight probably Foreman among great fighters. Louis was also lethal, so was Baer, Lewis and Tyson.
HW- Foreman 200- Haye 175- Moore 168- Froch 160- McClellan (maybe) 154- Jackson 147- Hearns 140- Tszyu 135- Duran 130- Arguello 126- Saddler 122- Gomez 118- Zamora 115- Galaxy 112- Donaire 108- Roman Gonzalez 105- Finito Lopez
Extremely hard list to come up with. But I'll try. Heavyweight: Shavers, Lyle, Tyson, Louis, Foreman, Liston. LT.Heavy Foster , Moore, Spinks, M.Johnson, M.Mahhamed. Middle: B Briscoe, G,McClellan, Greb, ( But , this is without film evidence) Monzon, Valdes) Jr . Middle: J.Jackson, T.Hearns, J.Mugabi, N.Benn, Welter: T.Hearns, R.Robinson, F.Trinidad, J.Napoles, R.Leonard. Jr.welter: A.Pryor, A.Arguello, K.Tszyu,Z.Judah. Lightweight: R.Duran, A.arguello, E.Rasario, J.Chavez. Featherweight/ Jr.lightweight : S.Saddler, R.Olivares ,A.arguello, D.Lopez,J.Fenech just some off the top of my head, sure I missed a few. But the ones that Immediately come to mind.
Cheers. Looking back now i am still quite happy with it. If i added cruiser - 190 i'd take Marciano i reckon.

Moore Super Middleweight- Roy Jones, Nigel Benn Middleweight- Bob Fitzsimmons, G-Man Light Middleweight- Julian Jackson, Hearns, Trinidad Welterweight- Thomas Hearns, Trinidad, Robinson Light Welter- Kosta Zoo, Randall Bailey Lightweight- Rosario, Chavez, Mosley Super Feather- Freitas, Arguello, Uchiyama Featherweight- Hamed, Pacquaio Super Bantamweight- Gomez, Rigo Bantamweight- Olivarez, Inoue, Rafael Marquez Super Flyweight- Vic Darch, Sung Kil Moon, Khaosai Galaxy Flyweight- Wilde, Donaire Light Flyweight- Humberto Gonzalez, Roman Gonzalez Minimumweight- Ricardo Lopez
Confident in my picks, yet struggling with two weight classes: Heavy: Shavers Cruiser: Marciano/Louis LightHeavy: Langford/Foster SuperMiddle: Fitzsimmons/Choynski Middle: McClellan LightMiddle: Jackson Welter: Hearns LightWelter: ? Light: ? SuperFeather: Arguello Feather: Hamed SuperBantam: Gomez Bantam: Olivares SuperFly: Galaxy Fly: Wilde Just missing out: Foreman, Ketchel, Dempsey, Saddler, Moore, D Lopez, Zarate, Valero
Mancini, No way, I have always been a huge Mancini Fan, but he hit hard with both hands, but no way he was a 1 Punch KO guy with great power, good solid power, but no way he compares to the greats. Galaxy Probably #1 in his class, and at LW, Duran & Diego Corrales a notch above Rosario. and at FW not Sanchez or Carb, but Richard Moreno, Carillo, Lopez and shirleyare all right there.
Lightww- Tsyzu for sure and LW Diego Corrales. Corrales probably was at the top at SuperFW also, just above Arguello and Chavez, Saddler would be right there with corrales also. at bw i can't see anyone near Zarate, at WW Cuevas and Robinson are right there with Hearns, and MW you have Fitzsimmons who regularly knocked out hw's and many greats he fought said he was by far the hardest puncher at any weight, and right with him is ketchel, with McClellan a notch below and Mugabi has to be right there with them. and LHW Bob Foster and Satterfield have to rule that weight with langford close. CW if it had existed then yes Marciano, but for pure CW's that actually fought officially there, O'neil Bell.
Good suggestions and yes Bell for sure, but Breland, he was not known for his power ever and i watched him as he came up, he is not even close.
HW - Max Baer CW - (actual CW division) - Murat Gassiev LHW - Curtis Sheppard SMW - Gerald McClellan MW - Julian Jackson LMW - John Mugabi WW - Tommy Hearns LWW - idk Fuji? LW - idk? Williams or Duran? SFW - idk? Arguello? FW - Sandy Saddler SBW - Wilfredo Gomez BW - Ruban Olivares SFlyW - idk? Does Wilde count? Wilde from here down
Ah yeah I forgot about Fits. If I was swapping a LHW out it would be for Foster. I like Fitsimmons at MW
