    Very very tough, but:

    Duran
    Jones
    Whitaker
    Pep

    Whitaker and Jones are pretty much interchangable. Although if RJJ was shrunk in size to a 135lber he'd quite possibly have the style to take a UD over Duran

    Duran is a lot of peoples fav fighter (one of mines too) & there are not many better but Willie Pep was one.

    One was the best LWT ever, the other was the best FWT ever, would be nice if both were in the same division, if that were the case, I truly feel Pep totally outboxes Duran, just my opinion.

    Calling Willie Pep a boxing master doesnt do him justice IMO... to think some had him at the bottom of their list is crazy.

    The first highlighted point is debatable, I personally prefer Sanchez at FW and Duran isn't necesarrily a lock for LW number 1, Whitaker has a case to be above him as does Ortiz and perhaps Leoanrd

    Pep is a masterboxer, as are Whitaker and Jones, all equally god like without much between them. Pep is less of a god imo because he struggled so much when moving up to LW and lost to Angott and losing the series to Saddler hurts him
