    Pick a fighter for each weight class from a head-to-head perspective (as if you're a promoter building a team to take on any fighters from any era). For comparison purposes, we're looking at modern rules (12 rounds, 24hr weigh-in). I've dropped some same-day weigh-in fighters into the division I think they'd be at today.

    Heavyweight: Louis
    Cruiserweight: Holyfield
    Light Heavy: Marciano
    Super Middle: RJJ
    Middleweight: Langford
    Light Middle: Greb
    Welterweight: Fitzsimmons
    Light Welter: SRR
    Lightweight: Duran
    Jr. Lightweight: JCC
    Featherweight: Armstrong
    Jr. Featherweight: Pep
    Bantamweight: Sanchez
    Jr. Bantamweight: Zarate
    Flyweight: Jofre
    Jr. Flyweight: Wilde
    Strawweight: Lopez

    Great list, great fighters. I wouldn't change much except maybe move SRR,Fitz,Greb and Langford up one to make way for Pryor at 140. Tough one but I like Charles at 175 too.
