    Roberto Duran - 'Manos de Piedra' - is a P4P ATG as well as being seen as the ATG lightweight of all time. After a dominant 6 year reign at 135 he would go on to pull off a great number of wins over bigger guys, such as Leonard, Moore, & Barkley (147,154,160 respectively), & despite being the smaller man, he was able to overcome the odds nonetheless. Duran beat a whole host of different fighters, but the style he struggled with the most was the 'slick-boxer' style (Leonard 2, Benitez, Laing).

    135
    Whitaker
    Mayweather
    Camacho (both in their primes)
    Crawford
