------ De la Hoya for me. He should have won their fight.
De la Hoya was a very good welterweight. The best of his generation. Better than Tito, better than Mosley. And a better welterweight than Floyd.
Robinson, this is not close. Leonard has arguably the best individual win (Duran), but Robinson had a ****in great career.
It is true that Lewis fought a 38 year old, war damaged, Evander Holyfield. He also fought Tyson, 10 years after his prime. Tua was 25 pounds...
I don't really think Lewis ducked other fighters. Maybe Byrd. Instead of fighting Byrd, he relinquished the IBF belt and fought Tyson. Maybe...

Not in the Top15
Hope it's Pulev.
Impossible to know. Unless CHEF updates us. I'm ok with any contender like Pov, Solis, Arreola, Mitchell, Pulev, etc.
I agree, Louis had good wins between 1946-1949. Then he had a great comeback career in 1950.
Morales is more accomplished than Barrera and Marquez, yes.
