Greatest Bantamweights of All Time
Bantamweight is a division that has seen many ups and downs during its history. One constant, however, is that this division constantly churns out compelling fighters. While the Top 10 might not be able to compete in terms of star-power with some of the more glamorous divisions, 118 lbs has perhaps the deepest of all divisions.
Every fight fan has his own idea of what greatness is, and more often than not the list will feature an inordinate number of his contemporaries because those are the fighters he knows best. I've tried hard for that not to be the case regarding who is best within the classic 8 weight divisions. So without further adieu, here is one man’s opinion of who occupies boxing’s Bantamweight Mount Olympus. Let the arguing begin.
