I can't put everyone in here so hopefully the list is good enough.

On that list its either Ken Buchanan or Bob Fitzsimmons.
You left off Ted Kid Lewis and Jimmy Wilde and many others who deserve to be on there instead of many.

Bob Fitzsimmons. Lightest Heavyweight champion of all time. Beat James J. Corbett for the Heavyweight title when he only weighed 167. Essentially, a Super Middleweight. (Corbett weighed a little less than 190 pounds.
He also beat Tom Sharkey and Joe Choynski. He beat Choynski so bad, the police had to intervene. He also took the Middleweight championship away from Jack Dempsey. He's also the sports first ever three division champion, with capturing the Middleweight title from Dempsey, Light-Heavyweight championship from George Gardner, and the Heavyweight title from Corbett.
A real bad ass, too.
FOUGHT THESE HOFers.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
James Jeffries
Tom Sharkey
Joe Choynski
Jack Dempsey
Might not be the best, but he's my favorite.Comment
