Greatest light weight of all time??? He's greatest victory in lightweight came against Castillo (although most people think that Castillo won the first fight). Castillo is a good fighter, not a great fighter. Beating other fighters like Famoso Hernandez doesn't make Mayweather the greatest lightweight.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!
you put pacquiao but not floyd
Compare tthe twos competion and resumes. Look at the wars that Pacquio has been in and the level of competition. Floyds competition doesn't even come close to comparing to Paqs.
My list goes as follows (and yeah, it seems like a long one to me too):
Roy Jones
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney
Joe Calzaghe
Winky Wright
Jermain Taylor
Shane Mosley
Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather
Ricky Hatton
Joes Luis Castillo
Diego Corrales
Arturo Gatti (even though I HATE him!)
Marco Antonio Barrera
Erik Morales
Manny Pacquiao
Juan Manuel Marquez
Rafeal Marquez
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
Ivan Calderon
Some "maybe" guys:
Wladimir Klitschko
Antonio Tarver
Fernando Vargas
Zab Judah
Miguel Cotto
Joel Casamayor
Edwin Valero
Israel Vazquez
Amir Kahn
Jorge Arce

... and Lennox Lewis, Tzsyu, Tyson, Tapia, Mosley.
Darius michalczewski and virgil hill should make it. Being a hall of famer nowadays is more meaningfull. Back in the old days, if you were a world champion for a certain time, it was good enough to make it in HOF, lol.
Joe Calzaghe-42-0- Longest reigning world champion, over a decade as world champion 19 title defences, number 1 (roy jones or Joe) or 2nd greatest supermiddleweight off all times.

Include Mayweather and your list is complete.
Mayweather is a certain HOFer but only spent 4-5 fights at LW. He'll go up very high on the top 130 lb fighters ever but not at 135.
The top lightweights ever are duran, leonard, gans, pea.
