No heavyweights because the division has never been as rich as others. Always 2 or 3 guys maximum who were at the top with the rest not even coming close.

You're a boxing genius if you have Ali outside your top 4... 1. SRR 2. Ali 3. Louis 4. Armstrong 5. Greb 6. Bob Fitzsimmons 7. Duran 8. B.Leonard 9. ? 10. ? Monzon and R.Leonard have a good shout for top 10 for me. It's too hard to decide the last two. I dont know enough about Langford. I don't buy into Willie Pep as much as I'd like to. I don't really buy into Ezzard Charles enough for him to be a top 10.
In no particular order - Robinson Ali Duran Louis Monzon Hagler Leonard (Ray) Leonard (Benny) Whitaker Armstrong Loads more could make this cut.
In no particular order... Marciano... Louis... Robinson... Armstrong... Pep... Hagler... Greb... Tunney... Benny Leonard... Dempsey...
1. Robinson 2. Greb 3. Armstrong 4. Charles 5. Ali 6. Duran Gets really tough after that and you have alot of fighters who could merit a 7-10 placing imo. Pernell Whittaker, Sugar Ray Leonard, Benny Leonard, Archie Moore, Eder Jofre, Willie Pep and Carlos Monzon to name just a few.
