That list includes only WBA/WBC/IBF and WBO?

BHop is special. Ageless and craft master.

That list is going to change with all the ABC titles available.

Yeah, you're not kidding. Michalczewski, Narvaez, and (the immortal) Sven Ottke are already pulling this list way down. Just give it a few more years.

True.

However, some of the other fighters listed in the graphic had those wins and were recognised as the best in the division at the time of the victory.

Definitely true. Michalczewski, Narvaez, and Ottke are the only three who really don't belong. But it's going to be harder and harder to use this statistic as a meaningful gauge of historical excellence moving forward.

It's not really a list I'd look into too much, considering Hops mw run had few stand outs but his consistency was terrific. Guys with fewer title fights and wins, like Leonard and Hagler have more quality and it's surprising that Duran ain't up there.

Haha love your Money "Team" picture

Why don't they belong? What criteria should be used then?

They always forget the Old-Timers, guys like Jack Britton who had well over 20 Championship fights and some sources claim he had as many as 39.

Note: I was counting total Championship fights, Not just their wins!
