My Top 10 Favorite Lightweight Boxers of All Time 🥊

Here are my top 10 favorite Lightweight boxers in history! This division stands as one of boxing’s most storied and revered weight classes. Its history is filled with legends who shaped the sport and left lasting legacies. From the likes of Benny Leonard who dominated the 1920's with his excellent poise and skill, to Roberto Duran who conquered the 1970's and cemented his place as the greatest in the divisions history, to Pernell Whitaker whose masterful boxing IQ and defensive skill set made him an unstoppable force at this weight class. So many amazing champions and a very difficult list to create. Please note that these aren't where I rank the fighters historically, just how much I personally like to watch them. If a fighter isn't included here it doesn't mean that I don't like them, they're just not a favorite of mine in this weight class. The fighters that missed out here were; Mando Ramos, Tony Canzoneri and Alexis Arguello. Hope you enjoy!
