    HW: A mashup of Lewis, Ali, Holmes and Holyfield for me.

    CW: Tie between Holyfield & Usyk.

    LHW: Tie between Ezzard Charles & Bob Foster.

    MW: Tie between Hagler and Hearns.

    WW: Thomas Hearns & SRR

    I can't think of the H2H GOATs of the lower weight divisions after welterweight. What's your H2H GOAT list of these 5 weight classes ?

    All I know is that I want to watch a round robin of those HW on your list. I also hope we are getting pre-exile Ali, because otherwise, my money is on Lewis for their H2H. His combo of height, reach, and boxing skills, combined with his power, might be too much.

    And I also want to see TH vs SRR at WW.

    I know, I'm going all off topic, but so what.

    Mm

    Ali could beat the most but he could lose.

    Cruiser? Evander probably.

    Ezzard Charles or Archie Moore (Easy pick)

    At 160lbs Let’s say Monzon? Tiger or Hagler is also fine. Not too keen on Tiger…

    147lbs is just Sugar Ray Robinson, Hearns isn’t close to Ray at all pretty much no welters are.

    Hearns beat Shuler,Dewitt and Roldan at 160lbs,he doesn't belong anywhere near a top10 at middle imo.

    Hearns ahead of Leonard at welterweight? Who does Tommy beat that Leonard can’t?

    It’s often very hard because styles make fights but Ali, Holyfield, Charles, Robinson, Robinson would be my picks.

    I love Hearns but I couldn't rank him that high H2H. Too many guys who would knock him out imo
