    Of fighters that fought one weight class below or above?

    For example I'd love a 140 lb division of Arguello, Tzyu, Mayweather, Delahoya, Mosley, Armstrong, Williams, Duran, Chavez, Whitaker, Pryor all going to war over the course of a decade and seeing who was who when the dust settled. Would produce some fireworks as well as some classic boxing chess matches IMO

    Arguello and Pryor vs Mayweather/Delahoya/Mosley would have been something. Chavez as well :ibutt

    It really is, but I don't think my fave fighters suit the division as well as yours so I'm biased against having it as my dream place :oops:

    Walcott would be disqualified for low blows against Hearns.

    No Benitez, Iron? He and Gavilan would be a dream to see.

    Of course. It was just a random quick list off the top of all the talent there's been in division.

    Aside from middleweight, I nominate late 60's/early 70's junior welterweight. Loi, Locche, Perkins, Ortiz, Hernandez, Fuji..yes, Fuji..he was crude..a caveman and he pulverized Loppopolo (Lopopopololol?) Cervantes and Benitez.

    Fuji was an absolute beast. Fuji-Hatton would be amazing.

    OK! Here's my dream pre WW1 lightweight division. Not what the thread asked for but, you know...

    CH: Gans
    01: Jack McAuliffe
    02: Young Griffo
    03: Frank Erne
    04: Freddie Welsh
    05: Owen Moran
    06: Elbows McFadden
    07: Jimmy Carroll
    08: Billy Myer
    09: Battling Nelson
    10: Ad Wolgast

    Beast.

    LHW, so many amazing fighters from the 50's till today, not to discredit anyone pre 50's but since the 50s its always had a good good fighter so why not stick them in a pot and see who comes out on top?
