Charles did beat Moore 3 times, that's why I have him in front.

JMW is a difficult division. I would say the best fighter there was probably McCallum but Wright had way more title defenses and fought there for so much longer against guys that were probably as good. McCallum had McCrory, Curry, Jackson, Kalule etc, which is amazing but some of his best wins were at middle against Watson, Kalambay etc.THIS ARE GREAT LISTS!!!! the only ones I saw a bit out of sense, were the one with Calzaghe as the best LHW, he is the best SMW for sure, but he only have 2 fights at LHW. And the one with Sanches at the best 130 pounder, he could be at 126, but no way at 130. Arguello,Floyd,ect,ect,ect well above him in that division. The guy who putted Winky opened my eyes, I think Winky as a SWW could be the very best of all time, but Hearns was very good too!!!!!!
It's a hard division. Either Hearns, McCallum would be fine but Wright held the titles for so much longer. Hearns only ended up fighting there for about four or so title fights really.
edit: I had to run out quickly and didn't finish mine. Just did it then. These lists are hard because the non Jr divisions have so many fighters from so many years whereas the Jr divisions don't have enough sometimes!
Charles is a good one. Could easily be the best.Last edited by BennyST; 01-01-2009, 10:44 PM.Comment

Since when has Roy been the only guy to win a middleweight and a heavyweight title? There have been a few more than just Roy mate. Other guys also did it against the true heavyweight champion instead of just a fringe alphabet titlist like Ruiz.

Pretty much the same, although I might give Monzon and Moore equal top status in their respective divisions. Zarate is also overlooked far too much, but he can't be ranked over Jofre.I made this list a while ago so I'll just post it again, saves me some time.
