    These old "heavyweights" aren't as heavy as most today's cruisers.
    SRR wasn't at his best at middleweight.
    What has Pacquiao done as flyweight?
    Roy Jones instead of Michael Spinks.
    Julio Chavez got too much gifts.

    Just my suggestions

      1. You may not agree with them, but they are my (opinion) picks.
      2. I noted at the bottom of my post that my picks were subject to revision.
      3. Where are your picks? The purpose of the thread is to collect varying opinions.

        Sorry my wisdom about fighters from the 19th century is very poor, so I can't make a good list.
