The Best in Eight Classic Divisions and Year

I go back and forth between Walcott and Robinson.

The case for Walcott is that he was under the welterweight limit when he beat up virtualy everyone, middleweights, light heavyweights, super heavyweights.

The man was under the welterweight limit when he beat up 6' 6'' 255lb Fred Russel.

 

Heavyweight: Joe Louis

Light heavyweight: Ezzard Charles

Middleweight: Harry Greb

Welterweight: Sugar Ray Robinson

Lightweight: Roberto Duran

Featherweight: Willie Pep

Bantamweight: Eder Jofre/ Ruben Oliveras (can't decide between the two)

Flyweight: Jimmy Wilde

 

It's Eder Jofre

 

So this is a h2h thing then?

Heavyweight- Ali

Light-heavyweight- Charles

Middleweight- Robinson at his MW best imo

Welterweight- Robinson

Lightweight- Duran (Whitaker?)

Featherweight- Sanchez

Bantamweight- Jofre

Flyweight- Wilde (just a power thing)

Normally when ranking my greatest by division, i would change Ali to Louis, Robinson at MW to Greb, and Jofre to Zarate, but the above would be more h2h, oh and also, maybe Sanchez to Pep.

 

Good Picks. I'm not sold on Conn at Light Heavy, so I'm going to reserve judgement on that one, maybe do some homework (Thanks ;-) ). I've always been torn between Monzon and Hagler, but after watching a lot of Monzon film recently, I agree with that pick. Plus, I don't think Hagler would beat a Middleweight Robinson or Lamotta for that matter. Maybe Duran at Lightweight, but I haven't watched any film of Leonard recently. I can't imagine a Heavyweight beating the 1966 to 1968 version of Ali. I think Salvador Sanchez would give Saddler all he could handle.
