    Hard to say 100% any one fighter, so between - Greb/SRR/Langford/Armstrong as the front runners, with Duran/Ali/Louis as very high contenders IMO. keep well.

    They call Robinson the best pound for pound fighter. I am the best ounce for ounce! "

    I agree with McGrain. Best Welterweight for sure. Possibly the best Middleweight. And he darn near won the Light Heavyweight Title.

    It's Harry Greb, with Langford as a close second.

    In terms of looking the best, it's harder as many people have different opinions about "eye test". SRR, Ezzard Charles, Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran and Joe Gans look absolutely marvelous to watch. I can't say for certain due to lack of extensive footage, but Benny Leonard always looked like the greatest to me when I watch him.
