I am not too knowledgable when it comes to the lower weight divisions under Featherweight but who do you think is the Best fighter in each division Ever. Taking into Account their Record, Resume and Talent at that particular weight

Featherweight: Willie Pep
Super Featherweight: Floyd Mayweather Jr
Lightweight: Roberto Duran
Jr Welterweight: Julio Cesar Chavez
Welterweight: Ray Robinson
Jr Middleweight: Thomas Hearns
Middleweight

Found this one the most difficult one tight between Robinson, Monzon and Hagler) Hagler
Super Middleweight: Joe Calzaghe
Light Heavyweight: Archie Moore ( I believe Roy Jones is a better fighter but Moore had a much better Resume
Cruiserweight: Evander Holyfield
Heavyweight: Muhammad Ali

If there is anybody better at the weight classes then please put them down on a list of your own i'd be interested to see what you guys think

At 168, I'd say Jones is better than Calzaghe on talent. Joey has alot of wins, but Roy beat (dominated) Toney when JT was the P4P at that weight. JC doesn't have that type of win.

At 168, Roy knocks out Calzaghe.

You can make a case for any of those, but three changes I personally would make would be:

Junior Welterweight: Aaron Pryor
Junior Middleweight: Mike McCallum
Lightheavyweight: Bob Foster

I agree with yours pretty much

Damn, your avatar is just about perfect... who is she?

I don't know a lot about the lower weights either, but it is pretty clear who the best ever at minimumweight is... Ricardo Lopez.

I think you can also be pretty safe listing Wilfredo Gomez the best Superbantamweight and Eder Jofre as the best Bantamweight.

I don't know anything about Gomez...

Erik Morales was a pretty ****ing good Super Bantamweight though.

Something to think about, or is it not even close? That would be pretty impressive.

Is that A FACT or YOUR OPINION??
Let's not get into an argument over RJJ's Cherry picking here but the FACT is Roy NEVER fought Calzaghe so WE WILL NEVER KNOW if Roy would KO Calzaghe.
That is RJJ's biggest problem and 99% of his fans.
Assumptions mean NOTHING.

I do have much respect for Morales at 122, but Gomez had 18 title fights at Superbantam and won them all by KO. So not really that close.

I guess I'm going to have to look into Wilfredo Gomez, because anyone who can dwarf Erik Morales's run at 122 is pretty damn impressive in my book.
