    Ruben Olivares.

    Panama Al Brown deserves a mention.

    The 3 x greatest BWs are Jofre, Olivares and Ortiz.

    My friend, your choices are full of modern boxers and the 118 pound weight class is full of a century or more of top fighters. You've given us good fighters as options but there are too many greats you left off the list.
