          If you could choose one who would it be?

          Amir Khan wont be, his chin wont hold up in higher weights.

          There is too much power in 147 for Amir Khan's chin.

            You don't have to. You can just dominate a division, rule it with an iron fist and fight all comers kind of like what Monzon and Hagler did.

              Not really, ruling a division is more impressive in my opinion.

                Obviously Marvin body was perfect for 160. From the start of his career he didnt have to move up or move down in weights. It serve him greatly in his career.
                It doesnt mean he's not great at all.

                  Nah, once you have a strong hold on the division, you being to take out contenders before they have time to completely develop

                  Kind of like HW right now

                  Marvin Hagler got alot of heat for never fighting for out of his division

                  Also Hopkins for a big stretch at MW

                    Really? You dont wanna test yourself against much stronger and bigger opponents? I respect fighters who risk it and just go for it.
