    I think mine is…

    HW: Louis
    LHW: Charles
    MW: Monzon
    WW: Robinson
    LW: Armstrong
    FW: Willie Pep
    BW: Eder Jofre
    FW: Canto

    I’m not a boxing history guy, I don’t know it very well but I think this list is basically inoffensive and vanilla… Canto shouldn’t probably be there, it’s probably Wilde and instead of Armstrong it should probably be Leonard.

    Wlad has a case, it’s fair enough to me. Well would you look at that? Napoles at 147lbs… yes of course @greynotsoold liked this post even if it’s wrong and Emile Griffith was the better welterweight.

    Objectively speaking its Robinson but since everyone gonna say Robinson I'll say Napoles to be different. Can't be better if you lose to Napoles and should have lost to Rodriguez as well ;)
