    Not necessarily, if this list is about favorite lightweights. If it was about the best lightweights in the division, then obviously, it would be to early to mention him.

    Anyway...here's my list of favorite lightweights:

    1. Roberto Duran
    2. Edwin Rosario
    3. Beau Jack
    4. Henry Armstrong
    5. Shane Mosley
