2. Ike Williams
3. Joe Gans
4. Pernell Whitaker
5. Henry Armstrong
6. Benny Leonard
7. Carlos Ortiz
8. Tony Canzoneri
9. Julio Cesar Chavez
10. Jack Blackburn

 

I rank Arguello top 2 at 130lb of all time alongside kid chocolate. perhaps your right about 135lb though

 

Then henry armstrong who went 1-1 at 135lb shouldnt be in my top 10 either?

 

He fought 2 world lightweight title bouts vs lou ambers going 1-1, floyd fought 2 with castillo. whats the difference? floyd beat the two best lightweights of his era castillo and corrales. Corrales fight may have been 130lb but he was officially 146lb on fightnight so i dont think theres that much of a difference. my biggest criteria is h2h, and floyd rates high here. edwin rosario was a dangerous puncher, but hes not in the class of floyd mayweather.

 

Tunney is 2-0 against dempsey. does that make him better heavyweight?

 

Tony Canzoneri's body of work at 135lb over TWO DIFFERENT eras is far greater than ross work at 135lb. Canzoneri beat the much better competition at 135lb by a wide margin. I also think h2h canzoneri matches up better at his best than ross does. Also the newspaper reported the 2nd fight to be a very controversial decision that many believed canzoneri won

 

you know your little pernell whitaker signature is cute in all, but its unrealistic as is pernell whitaker. he must have been all yipped out when he made that statement, as are you if with your continue underating of mayweathers abilities.
