    Who are the all-time greats from 126-135? And 140, though I know it is a younger weight class.

    Preferably the top 2-4 fighters ATG in those divisions.

    How does a fighter like Mayweather, who probably could fight a weight class or two lower than he does now, stack up against them?

    What about a fighter like De La Hoya, who was only fighting at that weight by the grace of god and extreme dehydration?

    135 - imo the very greatest achievers (the ones who were the best of the eras) were; Gans, Leonard, Williams, Ortiz, Duran, Whitaker, and even Mosley. Other ATGs there were Arguello, Wolgast, Nelson, Jack, Montgommery, Castillo, Buchannan and Brown amongst others, and in a h2h sense- Chavez, great FIGHTER at that weight.

    At 140, Chavez, Tszyu, Pryor, Cervantes, Locche, Loi, Canzoneri and Beniitez.

    Others will be more qualified at giving info on the 126 division, its admittedly my weakness! Pep, Saddler, Sanchez, Pedroza, Nelson, Saldivar are a few of the best though.

    At 130, te very elite imo are Mayweather and Arguello, and Nelson, maybe Flash Elorde aswell, but there are others.
