    First of all, I'm only 27 so I don't go THAT far back in the sport. There will be a few missing (feel free to add). Obviously a few of these guys only fought a few times at the weight and did most of their best work else where, but I'm talking, P4p the top 5 fighters to ever grace the division. Pacquiao for example if he stayed at 135 (his natural weight) could have dominated for years.

    Leonard or Armstong should take Lomachenko's place. Maybe even De La Hoya or Chavez. Loma has looked vulnerable at 135 if we're talking best ever.

    I'd take Chavez over Loma right now.

    Loma might just be undersized at 135.
