Who in your opinions are the top ten in each of these weight categories, i know back in the day they did have jr welterweight titles but im do not know if these were as prominent as original 8. Obviously duran and gans are just two the the naqmes and ross and both leonards are in with a shout but i want some more input.

Cool, can you tell me about the jr welterweight titlists back in those days, i have seen alot of old school fighters.some of those you have listed as holding that title. i hear enthusiats moaning about these divisons all the time saying they are new but in all seriousness they were around since the 1920s.
