I agree with your picks at heavyweight, middleweight and welterweight. At heavyweight I am talking about the young Ali before he was forced into almost 4 years of not fighting in the middle of his prime, not the older Ali that fought Joe Frazier. At light heavyweight just to stir things up I pick Rocky Marciano. I know he always fought in the heavyweight devision but he could easily have fought at 175. Charles never won a title at 175. He was only champion at heavyweight. He did very well at light heavyweight but he also lost at that weight and was KOed at that weight. Marciano was only 2 pounds heavier than Charles in their first fight. Rocky weighed 187 and Charles weighed 185. Rocky won by ud. In the rematch Rocky weighed 187 and Charles was heavier at 192. Rocky won that one by KO in the 8th round. Rocky usually weighed in the low 180s. He weighed in wearing street clothes and eating lunch since their is no weigh limit on heavyweights. All he needed to do to make 175 was to skip lunch and strip down for the weigh in. He was in the 170s for some of his fights. Archie Moore also outweighed Rocky when they fought. So Rocky is my pick at 175. He could have fought there and I can't think of a light heavyweight he could not beat.
