The Gold standard in each weight class.

126: Willie Pep

 

I'll say Ezzard Charles at 175 and maybe Alexis Arguello at 130. At 118 there always seems to be a split between Olivares, Zarate and Jofre.

 

Heavyweight = Lennox Lewis or peak Muhammad Ali
Cruiserweight = Rocky Marciano or Evander Holyfield if were talking about fighters who strictly fought at Cruiserweight.
Light Heavyweight = Michael Spinks
Super Middleweight = Roy Jones Jr
Middleweight = Marvin Hagler or Carlos Monzon
Jr Middleweight = Thomas Hearns
Welterweight = Sugar Ray Robinson
Jr Welterweight = Jose Napoles
Lightweight = Roberto Duran
Super Featherweight = Floyd Mayweather Jr
Featherweight = Salvador Sanchez
Super Bantamweight = Wilfredo Gomez
Bantamweight = Naoya Inoue
Super Flyweight = No idea ? Johnny Tapia ?
Flyweight = Again no idea but i really liked Mark Johnson at his best.
Light Flyweight = Roman Gonzalez ?
Minimumweight = Ricardo Lopez

 

Agreed on 118, that's a tough division to call out one as the best

 

175 is a loaded division as well, Ezzard Charles, Spinks, Archie Moore, Bob Foster, Billy Conn,, .

 

FOTC Frazier for heavyweight

 

Hi Buddy.

108: Michael Carbajal
112: Román "Chocolatito" González and Jimmy Wilde
115: Naoya Inoue
118: Panama Al Brown
122: Wilfredo Gómez
126: Willie Pep
130: Johnny Dundee
135: Benny Leonard

160: Harry Greb and Sugar Ray Robinson
168: Roy Jones Jr

I was basing it off who I've seen footage of mate, as you know some of the older fighters there's little to no footage of them. I haven't actually ever seen footage of Wilde I just know his history that hes a legend based on his fantastic record.

 

Hi Buddy.
Appreciate polite response, and on board with your stance, btw there is some footage of both Wilde and Lynch on YT, might be worth a look to better gauge their respective merits.
stay safe hombre.

 

I suppose FOTC Frazier is a bit of an anomaly and only represents him on one night, a lot of people say Ali, but then FOTC Frazier beat Ali, Foreman is a h2h monster but Ali beat him and only once, Frazier performing on the level he did in FOTC vs Foreman is unknown as he was pretty past it when they fought, but at least we have some actual fights of those guys to compare, Louis vs any them is an even more unknown, for Louis there has to be the assumption he blows through the guys that went the distance with/gave Ali and Frazier trouble

Marciano is a bit of anomaly too as he is not being placed at heavyweight in this thread but beat Louis, of course Louis was past it and Marciano did have a few losses at amateur

Tyson is an outlier/wildcard as there is a chance he could knock all of them out, a highly skilled puncher's chance of sorts
