Who's the greatest lightweight of all-time?

[Royalty]

For me, it's Benny Leonard.

[NChristo]

Joe Gans, Armstrong and Duran are other very good candidates for greatest LW.
I'm leaning in favor to Gans just because he's my favourite LW out of the 3 :P.

"El Cholo" Roberto Duran with Benny Leonard a close second and Pernell Whitaker a solid third.

Although Duran is one of my all time favourites I just can't look past Benny Leonard. His record is so deep; he beat, what, 7 Hall of Famers? He just has the better lightweight wins IMO.

Roberto Dooooooooo ran

There was a difference between Roberto Duran and Roberto Dooooooo ran.

[Marcov]

I went with Duran but I admit his accomplishments at otherweights influenced me. That just adds to what a great lightweight he was.
