  • What division has had the most all time greats

    Id say its probably between heavyweight, welterweight and middleweight. I think they have had the most fighters who could he considered truly great or at least hall of famers in them.

    this is actually a great question...each weight class has had it's fair share of ATGs...you're gonna probably need some historians to chime in on this one

      Most of the truly marquee names that spring to my mind are WW's, MW's and HW's too, but there's also a lot of guys who skipped divisions too, so it's probably a lot more difficult to answer than we realise.

          The lightweights, clearly. If you're considered a consensus top ten/fifteen in that weight division in the ATG rankings, you're as legit as they come.

            I was about to say lightweight too. It's the deepest division. For marquee ATG it's the heavies obviously.

              Yea, there's too many old school fighters from way back in the day I know I'd overlook. I probably shouldve posted this in the history section lol

                you know who you could hit up about this? Cliff Rold...he's one of the best writers for this site and i remember him compiling these types of lists..i think he made one for every division...try sending him a message and we just might get an article out of it!

                  135, 147 and 160. they are original weight classes but have also had many fighters that excelled in 2of 3 or all 3.
