    1.Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns
    2."The Bodysnatcher" Mike McCallum
    3.Ronald "Winky" Wright
    4.Wilfred Benitez
    5."The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya
    6.Felix "Tito" Trinidad
    7.Terry Norris
    8.Julian Jackson
    9.Fernando Vargas
    10."Sugar" Shane Mosley


    let me know if you agree

    { I don't know this division aswell as the others but looking through its history I think I got the top 5 spot on the other 5 is a bit more debatable I think.}

    {After some complaints I did some research and added some name's in exchange for others remember also that this list is based on achievement aswell as talent and is not strictly Hd 2 Hd if it were I'd have Hearns number 1 and a pick em between McCallum and Benitez for the number 2 and 3 spots.}

    Why is Oscar even on that list? He didnt achieve much at light middle IMO. Certainly no more than Benvenutti, Trinidad or Norris
