    Eh? Conn beat Melio Bettina, Young Corbett III, Teddy Yarosz, Gus Lesnevich, Fred Apostoli as a light-heavy. He even had some of his fights against heavyweights whilst weighing less than 175lb, including Louis.

    More than half of those names are not natural LHW. Louis fight is at HW and should by traditional logic, should be rated as HW.

    If someone weighs within the light-heavy limit, they're a light-heavy, no? Conn officially weighed 174 when he fought Louis (probably less, in fact). Don't see why he shouldn't get credit just because he fought a heavyweight who outweighed him by 30lbs.

    Why would I forget the junior division?

    Start a thread debating any of those rankings and ill happily go through it.
