Greatest Super Featherweight ever????

There has been no real stand out at Super Feather, in my opinion. Plenty of very good boxers but no one who owned the division. I mean really owned it like a Hagler, Monzon, etc.
BUT.........
If anyone deserves the crown it's Brian Mitchell of South Africa. Floyd may have had a better career over all but Mitchell went to the hometown of Tony Lopez & beat him (twice - if you watched those fights). Also undefeated in his last 40 odd fights & half his defences were on the road. He wasn't flashy, or controversial, but he won - again & again - in his opponents hometowns, fighting for his opponents promoters & in front of his opponents fans.
But people prefer style over substance these days.....
Here's my Dirty Dozen.
Acelino Freitas
Alfredo Escalera
Alexis Arguello
Azumah Nelson
Brian Mitchell
Edwin Valero
Flash Elorde
Floyd Mayweather
Genaro Hernandez
John John Molina
Julio Cesar Chavez
