Most Competitive Top-10 For Any Division (All-Time)?

[Barn]

Its got to be heavyweight! you have fighters like Ali, Holmes, Dempsey, Langford, Marciano, Jeffries, O sulivan, Corbett, Tunney, Lennox lewis, Tyson, Joe Louis, Holyfield, Joe Fraizer, Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, George Foreman and Rid**** Bowe to choose from

People in there, Tunney, Langford and others who had minimal fights at the Heavyweight weight class, excluding them, Your left without about 4 Top 50 ATG's in the Heavyweight Division.
When you look at LW you have, Duran, Leonard, Gans, Armstrong, Whitaker, Canzoneri etc. Who are all stonewall Top 50 greats.

Exactly how many HW get in? Maybe Ali and Louis? That's all that's really possible to be fair.

For an ordering I'd be sitting at:

Welterweight
Lightweight
Middleweight

I said modern boxing

Roy Jones
Hopkins
Toney
Hagler
Hearns
Monzon
Nunn
McCullum
Eubank

Dempsey was past his prime for both fights and who thinks Langfords best weight was heavyweight?
It's definitely Light-Heavy IMO.

This is the history section...

[StarshipTrooper]

Hey let's all rank Roy Jones as a Heavyweight! He only had one fight there but hey, he won a title and since we're using the Boxing Scene equivalent of the "one drop" rule one sucessful fight at Heavyweight means you're a Heavyweight right?

Alof people think langfords best weight was heavyweight he was the number 1 contender for years cos johnson wanted nothing to do with a rematch! langford knocked out harry wills at heavyweight the same wills who demsey avoided for years, i think ring founder nat fleischer use to rate sam as the greatest heavyweight of all time, even dempsey said sam would of beat him.
