    i rightly go with Wilfredo Benitez the youngest world champion in boxing history as well as being a 3 weight world champion, Benitez fought and beat fighters vastly superior than any opponents Lennox Lewis fought... Benitez won his first title at 140lbs at age 17yrs of age beating Antonio Cervantes and defending that title 3 times before moving up to 147lbs and beating Carlos Palomino, he lost that belt to Ray Leonard in a great fight then moved up and beat Maurice Hope by knock out with a devastating punch for his 3rd world title in seperate weight divisions. his first defence of the 154lb title was against Carlos Santos which was the first time 2 Puerto Ricans had fought for a world title Benitez won a 15rd decision, he then defended against Roberto Duran beating him by UD before losing in his next defence to Thomas Hearns by majority decision... Benitez fought all those IBHOF fighters when they was in their ultimate prime where as Lennox Lewis only two fights against IBHOF fighters Mike Tyson & Evander Holyfield was when they was more than a decade past their best.... Higher on the ATG list is not even close, it has to be Wilfredo Benitez.

    you should have made a poll with this topic

            Benitez claimed he never even trained for his title defence against Ray Leonard
