Actually i wanted to add in a good deal more but i stuck to the 12 man limit like a good little poster!

But imagine these guys being added-

Mayweather, Corrales, Casamayor, Rosario, Camacho, Montgomerry, Ross, McLarnin, Tendler, Dejesus, Napoles, Pryor, Arguello, Brown,

Now that is THE DIVISION.

Don't forget young versions of Delahoya, Ray Robinson and Holman Williams

The thing about modern LWs like Mosley, Delahoya, Castillo and Corrales is they rehydrated to 147-160 on fight night giving a huge weight disparity

I guess you dont know my feelings on Oscar then??! (kidding, i'd rather leave him out though, lets call it a personal non-pick!)
