    Roberto Duran @ 135
    Pernell Whitaker @ 135
    Sugar Ray Robinson @ 147
    Sugar Ray Leonard @ 147
    Roy Jones Jr @ 168

    Robinson is not on film much at 147, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. People have said he was much better at 147 than he was at 160. Tyson comes to mind too @ HW as does Holyfield @ 190 as KG said. Hearns and Monzon have good cases and I'm missing a few.

    See if we do it by weight class, I would have Holyfield @190.

    Literally it would be among Heavyweights(Ali, Lewis, Holmes, Tyson, etc).

    For their weight class it would be someone like Lopez at 105, Gomez at 122, or Jones at 168 due to lack of competition and their tremendous skills to boot.

    P4P is a lot harder to decipher though. Those in contention are the following, as they were in the specific weight class:

    Jones Jr. at 168
    Greb at 160(despite lack of footage)
    Robinson at 147(despite less footage)
    Whitaker at 135
    Duran at 135
    Armstrong at 135
    Pep at 126
    Pryor at 140
    Napoles at 135-140(despite less footage)
    Burley at 147
    Loi at 140(despite lack of footage)
    Mayweather at 130
    Hearns at 154

    This is a great post all round Pea. I object to the inclusion of Napoles as an aside. But great, great post. Seriously.

    I would like to mention Langford at 160. He'd be close to invincible at this weight I feel. Breaking backs.

    Thanks bro.

    I think Napoles looks fantastic at 147, one of the very best, and the fact that he was better at lower weights puts him on the Robinson level of looking great on film, with his greatest not even seen.

    2) Tyson
    3) Duran @135
    4) Whitaker @135
    5) Hagler @160

    And in the future Gamboa at 126 or 130!!!!!!!!
