  • The Top 25 Lightweights of All-Time – Top Ten

    For any new boxing fan, the time is not long before a fellow fan points out a magic number which grows more mythologized with time: eight. As in boxing’s original eight weight classes. The number represents in the mind of many a time when the sport was compressed into fields which couldn’t help but be talented, couldn’t help but draw crowds, because there were so few places on the scale to go. They were divisions marked by single champions ever challenged by a depth of contenders today’s seventeen weight classes rarely know. [details]

            I have the exact same fighters as my top 6 ATG LW. I didn't have them no particular order. But, I named Duran, Whitaker, Gans, Leonard, Canzoneri, and Williams.

                Yea I think so too. I also think that you are right. You did blow it by not having DeJesus in the top 25. But, I also understand that it is a very difficult list to make. I do enjoy reading all of them.

                    Very true... Can't wait to see your Top 25 WWs. As long as you have Tito in the top 10 or atleast no lower than 15. I will not complain.
