    I am interested at seeing your lists too , as usual when I post lists .
    Also I will be interested in learning the reasons to why each one of yours and mine list members was avoided a title shot at the weight you/I listed him.


    I will try mine :

    HW :
    (1) Sam Langford
    (2) David Tua
    (3) Orlin Norris
    (4) George Chuvalo
    (5) Ross Puritty (he rarely got 12 rounds opportunities)

    Bob Cleroux could be in as well.

    I didn't forget Corrie Sanders I just doubt if I can or can't mention him
    because he had the WBO.
    CW :

    (4)
    (5) Dale Brown

    LHW :
    (1) Sam Langford
    (2) Ezzard Charles
    (3) "Jersey Joe Walcott"
    (4) Doug Jones
    (5) Jimmy Ellis

    Floyd Patterson could be in.

    SMW :
    (1) Reggie Johnson
    (2) Ray Close
    (3) Glen Johnson
    (4) Robin Reid
    (5) Merqui Sosa

    Henry Wharton could be in as well.
    So many Sven Ottke Opponents might be in as well.

    MW :
    (1) Rubin Carter
    (2) Michael Watson
    (3) Merqui Sosa
    (4) Tony Thornton
    (5) David Tiberi

    Steve Little might be in.

    The below weights and the rest of the weights I will update in the future , it takes time to think , compare and search.

    LMW :



    (1)
    (2)
    (3)
    (4)
    (5)

    WW :

    (1) Sam Langford
    (2) Charley Burley
    (3)
    (4)
    (5)

    LWW :
    (1) Shane Mosley
    (2) Alexis Arguello
    (3) Roberto Duran
    (4) Vinny Pazienza
    (5)

    LW :
    (1)
    (2)
    (3)
    (4)
    (5)


    Now think about the lists of worst 5 champions in each weight class just to get another view (angle) of how corrupt the sport is.
