    Heavy - Lennox.
    Cruiser - Holyfield.
    Light Heavy - Spinks.
    Super Middle - Roy Jones
    Middle - Robinson.
    Light Middle - Hearns.
    Welter - Leonard.
    Light Welter - Pryor.
    Lightweight - Duran.
    Super Feather - Pretty Boy Floyd.
    Feather - Sanchez.
    Super Bantam - Morales.
    Bantam - Gomez.
    Super Fly - Galaxy.
    Fly - Wilde
    Light Fly - Carbajal
    Straw - Lopez

    Might have screwed up some of the lower weights , I think I got Gomez wrong and he was a Super Bantam, but just don't see anyone beating this lot in their primes.

    Peace.

    I feel Wlad could have beaten Lewis and maybe Vitali, Robinson was better at welter than middle, McCallum may have beaten Hearns at light middle so might Canelo have if he didn`t gas. Chavez Srmay have beaten Pryor. Pep might have beaten Sanchez. I feel Loma was better than Floyd at super feather, Floyd fought on the front foot back then and Loma is better at that.

    Prime and focused Lennox went life and death against overweight and inactive Ray Mercer and washed up Holyfield in the rematch. So no, he definitely wasn't unbeateable at any pount of his career.

    Robinson's best weight was welter not middleweight, and probably leonard wouldnt have won to him. Unfortunately there's few to none footage of robinson in welter, hence... you know... all we can do is "to guess"

    Ray Robinson as unbeatable was at welterweight not middleweight. Duran at lightweight is the only other fighter I'd tag as unbeatable Leonard at welter? no way and there's way too many killers at light heavy for Spinks .

    My rankings arent based off nostalgia or mythical subjective rankings/popularity

    Heavy- Wlad and Vitali with Lennox
    cruiser- Usyk, Lebedev
    Lightheavy- Kovalev, Jack Sharky/Tunney
    SUPER middle- Joe Calzaghe/Ward
    Middle- Golovkin- Monzon and Roy/Hopkins
    Light Middle- Hearns
    Welter-Leonard
    Lightwelter-Chavez
    Lightweight-Duran and Loma

    Pacman transcends traditional weightclasses.
