    1) Robinson
    2) Pep
    3) Gans
    4) Leonard
    5) Greb
    6) Canzoneri
    7) Ross
    8) Langford
    9) Armstrong
    10) Walker

    Now Luigi, I have to caution you that I made up this list on impulse, as soon as I spotted your thread. On reflection, I could very well revise this extensively. (Alas, I haven't the class of a John Garfield, who seems oblivious to such temptations to rate. Maybe when I grow up a bit.)

    Hey Duodenum, don´t worry, it´s an excellent list. It´s just humanly to forget sometimes something... :yep the only 2 names I perhaps miss, are Barbados Joe Walcott and Jimmy Wilde...

    Where is Robinson?

    Carpentier held a title of some description in at least 7 of the 8 weight categories (national/continental/world)

    What do you mean? Because I posted in the past that I feel he´s a bit overrated? Yeah, IMO he´s a bit overrated, but that doesn´t change the fact that he was a great fighter, and in a p4p-list until the 50s I would have him probably in my Top10....

    Robinson is over rated. No way he did more than the guys I listed. They either won more titles(Canzi, Armstrong, Fitz, Ross) or over came more roadblocks(Gans) to reach the top.

    Really? Name 7 heavyweights before 1950 that are better than Jack Johnson.
