    Cruiser: holyfield
    Smw: calzaghe
    Lmw: hearns
    Lww: zoooo
    Sfw: pac
    Sbw: morales
    Sflw: darch
    Lflw: calderon
    Strawweight: no idea.

    LWW is the most problematic one of all of them. I think Pacquiao would beat Pryor, think Benitez would beat Pacquiao, think Chavez would beat Benitez, think Pryor would beat Chavez, etc. :nut I think they could all beat each other on a given day.

    JMW: McCallum and Benvenuti are in the mix IMO.
    SWW: people always forget about guys like Berg and Ross.
    JWW: Tony Canzoneri, Kid Chocolate, FMJ, Alexis Arguello ... I´d pick them all above Pac.

    Pac doesn't rate at JWW in my opinion. Guy has had 1 fight at the weight. I'd rank Hatton over Pac at the weight, regardless of what happened when they fought.

    The list should only be based on what a guy accomplished there, not who you think would win in a fantasy match up. IMHO.

    Yeah the thread is more about legacy accomplishments at the inbetween weights.
