My boxing knowledge becomes a bit limited sadly when it comes to the lower weights, apart from the obvious ones.. Robinson, Duran etc... What great fighters from the lower weight would you recommend I watch, just trying to increase my boxing knowledge here thanks!!

Two all time greats that I followed growing up were Jose Napoles and Ruben Olivares. They were both technically brilliant while still very entertaining to watch. While Olivares was much better as a bantamweight, his fight against Arguello should be on your must watch list.

Alexis Arguello for sure. Ricardo Lopez gets overlooked quite a bit. Jeff Chandler is another good one. Carlos Zarate. If you can find Kid Gavilan's fights at Welter that's another good one. Antonio Cervantes, Azumah Nelson, Edar Jofre, Lupe Pintor, and Michael Carbajal are all good.
