More than a few have come to the conclusion that it was naturally his most dominant weight and ranked him 1st all-time accordingly. Henry is someone Ive always felt had an unbelievable case as the P4P GOAT but could never fit at #1 in any single division for me... Not too different from Langford, who was considered peak at a light heavyweight's 'weight' but who's best wins are against Wills, McVey, Jeanette, Flowers, Gans and decidedly, Barbados Walcott. Those are 3 HWs, a MW, a LW and WW.

Some of these legends just completely transcend and break through the structural confines of a single division. Langford, Charles, Armstrong, Greb, among others. However, I think one can achieve plenty greatness dominanting a sole division (Pep, Monzon) or two (Robinson).

[New England]

Louis
Charles
Greb
Robinson
Duran
Pep
probably Jofre but i'm least sold on the BW's at this stage. tis a strange division with a lot of very unique fighters. they also dont command a ton of money, so you dont see them traveling the world and commanding big fights and stages.
