    Kostya Tszyu

    Retired (Was former Undisputed Champ at 140 and the only ever Undisputed Champ at 140)

    Best Wins Gonzalez TKO 11, Judah TKO 2, Mitchell-2 TKO 3 after being out for 2 years with injury)

    Dynamite Right Cross probably the best of all time plus his strength was his patience and how smart he was in the ring.

    His weakness however was mauling type fighters that were wrestling type guys never looked poor against any other style but that.
