      First division that popped into my head was WW. Then I'd say HW.

          Since a lot of greats usually become champions in multiple divisions, it can blur the lines in my mind. LW to WW, WW to MW and so on. But just off the top of my head, look at some of the names that have fought at WW.

          Robinson
          Armstrong
          Duran
          Leonard
          Hearns
          Whitaker

                  Yet half of those guys were better at LW. Robinson fought there too.

                    Yeah, but we're judging based off amount of ATGs at a certain division at the same moment in their careers, and where they really made a name for themselves. Obviously Duran/Pea, Armstrong are recognized as one of the GOAT LWs, but his abilities were there at WW to still consider him a WW.

                    The fact that they were all players at WW, with the inclusion of the GOAT and other ATGs makes that list sickening.

                      TS is saying which division has the MOST not the BEST ATGs.
