    Ranking the greatest 155 pound fighters

    One of things I love about NSB is its full of boxing people with great knowledge of the sport and it's amazing history. It's a place where we can come together and discuss the greats from today and the greats of yesterday. Together, our collective knowledge is a living breathing database with more information than boxrec. With this immense data we have repeatedly come together and created lists of the divisions, and while not always in agreement we often come up with the finest rankings of fighters on the internet or in print.

    Today we gather yet again to put the pieces of the puzzle together, ranking the historic 155 pound division. I'll start off with who I believe is the greatest of this weight class, others will surely disagree but thats half the fun.

    1. Canelo (arguably the best resume at 155 of all time)
    2. ????
    3. ????
    4. ????
    5. ????
    6. ????
    7. ????
    8. ????
    9. ????
    10. ???


    Cotto will have a great chance of cracking the top 5 with a win over Canelo, but still, just one win at 155 wouldn't be strong enough to be #1 ATG. Maybe if he defends it a couple more times, imo.

        Pretty good list but Cotto has never fought in the division before, so until he actually does he shouldn't be ranked.

              I thought Williams vs Lara was at the 153 1/2 pound weight class?

              Lara won a couple other 155 pounds as well, solid pick but unfortunately he's yet to get one official solid win at 155.

                    Common misconception for those who don't know the history of the sport! Fight was actually contracted at 155, but both came under.
