greatest light weight!

[sleazyfellow]

i way biased with these three boxers...armstrong, ike williams, n beu jack, but yeah another thing is i gotta give props for a non-heavyweight thread, it seems thats all ppl like to talk about, besides lightweight i also enjoy the junior welterweight division.

Here's one of the more entertaining fights that I have ever seen from the lightweight division (lots of punches & blood!), and it pits Mando Ramos versus Sugar Ramos;

Easily roberto duran. Silly question really

[Yogi]

Just bumping this thread for any new opinions or rankings (Butterfly maybe?) that some posters may have in regards to this division, which just happens to be my personal favourite in the historical sense of things.

you forgot Alexis Argullo, Pernell Whitaker, and Chavez.

as well as Castillo and Corrales too Freitas and Casamayor and Shane Mosely

sorry i dont know old school fighters that much

As much as I'd love to, Gringo, I've never seen that fight (which is supposed to be legendary for this division), and to tell you the truth, I've never heard of any footage even existing/surviving to this day.

no question about it, JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ

I changed my mind. IMO Armstrong is the best lightweight ever.

1. Henry Armstrong
2. Joe Gans
3. Roberto Duran
4. Benny Leonard
5. Ike Williams
