Personal Mt. Rushmore

So 4 for each division? I like it. If so this thread will last into eternity...hopefully.

I'll start at Light Heavy for now. But I'll be back.

The usual suspects: Spinks; Charles; Moore; Foster/Jones Jr. for the final spot on that mountain.

 

I'll stick to the original 8 weight divisions and base my picks on my top 4 for each, based solely on fights contested in each division:

HW - Louis, Ali, Holmes, Lewis

LHW - Charles, Greb, Tunney, Moore

MW - Greb, Monzon, Hagler, SRR

WW - SRR, SRL, Napoles, Armstrong

LW - B. Leonard, Gans, Duran, McFarland

FW - Pep, Saddler, Saldivar, Attell

BW - Jofre, Olivares, Ortiz, Zarate

Fly - Wilde, Canto, Perez, Wolgast

 

Hw - Ali, Louis, Holmes and Foreman

Cw- Usyk, Holyfield, Marciano and Dempsey

LHW- Charles, Langford, Moore and Spinks

SMW - RJJ, Toney, Calzaghe and Canelo

MW- Hagler, Monzons, Greb and SRR

Have to think about the rest

 

HW Langford Louis Ali Foreman

LHW Tunney, Loughran, John Henry Lewis,Roy Jones

MW Ketchel, Greb, Hopkins, GGG

154 Thomas Hearns, McCallum, Terry Norris, Fernando Vargas

WW Henry Armstrong, Floyd Mayweather, Trinidad, Manny Pacquiao

140 JCC, Tsyzu, Tim Bradley, Danny Garcia

 

Just going personal favourites, can do greatest too if I've misunderstood the thread.

HW: Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, and Evander Holyfield

LHW: Ezzard Charles, Marvin Johnson, Archie Moore, and Saad Muhammad

MW: Marvin Hagler, Michael Watson, Nigel Benn and James Toney

Cheers, Mike.
Very close, he and George Dixon round out my top 6 at FW. I can see Saldivar, Attell, Dixon and Sanchez (my #3-#6 at FW) in any order.

 

Harry Greb, Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Henry Armstrong, Benny Leonard, Sam Langford, Joe Gans...those are the goats no matter the order, I can't disagree with you as long as these men are listed
