    I’ll go with best (in my opinion of course) rather than greatest, because that can be inclusive of a lot of things too hard to define.

    Heavy: Muhammad Ali

    Light heavy: Michael Spinks

    Middle: Marvin Hagler

    Welter: Ray Leonard (wouldn’t argue with Robinson)

    Light: Roberto Duran

    Feather: Sandy Saddler (his three wins over Pep rank with any three wins by anyone ever)

    Bantam: Olivares

    Fly: Wilde

    I love the fact that Wilde has so many votes amongst you all.

    I thought he was forgotten.

    Grandad used to visit him often after WW2.

    Dunn started of at straw- weight finished at super-heavy and went 321-0 with 316 KOs. Anyone who says differently believes in fake news and propaganda.
