HW: Lewis (I can't pick Ali over Frazier)
LHW: Spinks (went undefeated in one of the deepest eras of the division)
MW: Hagler (ignore the Leonard fight, that wasn't a prime Hagler)
WW: Robinson/Leonard/Hearns(any one of these guys is capable of beating the other on any given night)
LW: Whitaker/Mayweather/Duran

Don't know enough about the history of the smaller divisions.

 

HW: Lewis (I feel H2H Heavy's live and die off the jab..)
LHW: Jones (Jones has the speed and power to stop anyone.. period... if he uses the right gameplan he doesn't lose.
MW: Jones (Jones over Robinson at MW.. little too high for Robinson and Jones is busting at the seams.. too fast.. too power..)
WW: Robinson (Do I need to really explain? my only reserves would be SRL or Hearns.. Hearns I like physically, but the chin against Robinson would be.. not great.. could cost him like SRLvHearns 1. and SRL... I would pick him; but I've heard he himself admit Robinson was better.. so I won't argue with him)
LW: Duran (I take him over Sweat Pea because Duran presses the fight.. so I see him getting robbed less.. Also Sweat Pea could get caught off balance.. and dropped.. where as Duran had a beard..

 

No way is Mayweather on that level.

 

Duran was dropped at lightweight, by De Jesus.

I'll take Jones at middle, but not at 175.

Lennox is a good shout, but I'll still go Ali.

 

I appreciate that Mayweather's accomplishments at 135 are weak, especially in comparison to the fighters I listed. However, if you look at Floyd between 130-135, that was his absolute peak, he was a beast back in those days. I know people will point out Castillo 1, but Floyd was recovering from a virus, and had a shoulder injury. Like great fighters, in the rematch he set the record straight.

I may take some stick for this, but I believe Floyd is capable of beating anyone between 130-140 on any given night. He's a complete fighter, solid chin, heart, adaptability, can fight on the inside, outside and at mid-range. I appreciate that Floyd has never faced a Duran, a Whitaker or an Armstrong, but I believe he'd be competitive with any of these guys.
