    I think the candidates aren't too bad for each weight class. Some modern day greats shouldn't be included for some divisions. Aaron Pryor selected under the greatest welterweights? WTF :lol:

    Am I the only one who thinks that Benny Leonard was a greater lightweight than Duran?

    I was going to do this then realized my knowledge is so restricted that there's no point in pretending to know why Wilde was any better Harada. Too much to learn in this game, man.

    Harada is an interesting pick why with his relativly small reign at Flyweight better than Pascual Perez or Jimmy Wilde?

    He is hosting it.

    also my picks

    HW: Muhammed Ali
    LHW: Ezzard Charles
    MW: Marvin Hagler
    WW: Ray Robinson
    LW: Benny Leonard
    FW: Willie Pep
    BW: Eder Jofre
    Fly: Pascual Perez

    Pretty much how I see it. At Middleweight,though,I can't make my mind up whether it's Monzon or Hagler.
