    Ray Robinson @ 147

    Roy @ 168

    Paul Williams @ 147 or 154 (I'm serious. I think people will agree in a couple years when he's done more).

    PBF @ 130.

    He's a tough match up for anyone @ 160. A prime Ray Robinson @ 160 would beat him I think. Hopkins could take away from Monzon's offense and perhaps beat him. I'm not saying for certain, but just based on styles.

    Paul Williams was already beaten at 147 by Carlos Quintana, and I think there is more than one fighter able to beat him. SRR, SRL, Thomas Hearns...

    It's arguable but I think Monzon beats those two. In his prime he hardly lost rounds, and SRR was not always consistent at the weight. Monzon had the power the range and the skills to beat SRR. For Hopkins it's more complicated, but Hopkins himself stated that he doesn't see himself winning against Monzon

    Williams was maybe not serious or whatever for this fight, but the fact is that he got beat and his weaknesses were exploited. You honestly think that nobody would beat him in the persons I named?

    We're talking about tough match ups. I say he's a nightmare for anyone at those weights, but that does not mean he would beat anyone at those weights!

    Prime Roy Jones @ 168. He was superhuman.
