The last generation of great/top level fighters at the weight classes of 147, 154 & 160 I would say through looking at their notable wins and losses are:
Shane Mosley:

lost to Miguel Cotto
lost to Winky Wright twice
lost to Vernon Forrest twice
Champion at Lightweight, Welterweight & Light Middleweight
Winky Wright:
beat Shane Mosely twice
beat Felix Trinidad
beat Ike Quartey
Draw with Jermain Taylor
lost to Bernard Hopkins

So the list includes:
Oscar De La Hoya
Pernal Whitaker
Shane Mosley
Ricardo Mayorga
Fernando Vargas

Winky Wright
How would you rank these fighters from the most accomplished to the least? I know that some of these fights were controversial as well eg Ocasr/Trinidad & Forrest/Quartey. Also, which of the fights between these guys were most entertaining? And is there anyone else you would add to this list?
I've seen quite a few of the fights on the list but not all and obviously did not grow up watching these great fighters so was wondering for those who did how they would rank these fighters against one another on All Time Lists ect.
