I woud have waited a few to give mine but my boy lizardhead called me out.
My list in some kind of order:
1). Robinson
2). Hagler
3). Monzon
4). D. Tiger
5). R. Jones
6). R. Valdez
7). McCallum
8). "Bobo" Olson
9). T. Zale
10). Nunn
11). J. Jackson
12). W. Joppy
13). Tate
14). Barkley
As a matter of me, I usually don't rank current fighters. When Hopkins and Toney retire they will be ranked 5 and 6 respectively.

Robert A - 3 of your top 5 are good.

Brent F , your top 3 make you an expert.

Cal--Ben - You know your stuff and you can take Santana D's place since he doesn't want to participate.

Brent F - Let's cover the Robinson question, a true sign of greatness is that you can still beat another fighter even when you have an off night.
Also, Robinson would have won at Light Hwy wt if it weren't for a heat stroke against Joey Maxim.

1) Hagler
2) Robinson
3) Monzon
4) Ketchel
5) Greb
Smitty, I agree with the comment you posted. I just like giving you the needle. I can't help but think that Monzon or Hagler could have clipped the great Sugar Ray at least once.

1. Sugar Ray Robinson: Need I say 5 times World champion In this weight that is all Lineal.
2. Marvin Hagler: Fought the best Challengers Available in His ERA and Ducks no one never been stopped. Was avoided in his Erlier Carrer.
3. Carlos Monzon: Retired as Champion holds the records of most successful Defense befor Hopkins Breaks that record. But I say that Monzon,s Record is more Credible since during his ERA there's only one champion and Monzon Beat all the Top Challengers.
4. Harry Greb: Relentless Attacker with solid boxing skills.
5. Dick Tiger: 2 time Champion

1. Sugar Ray Robinson (won the title 5 times btwn 51 and 60)
2. Harry Grebb (fought almost 300 fights and only lost 7)
3. Carlos Monzon (went undefeated for 13 consecutive years)
4. Marvin Hagler (reigned over the division for almost 10yrs)
5. Stanley Ketchel (his early death was tragic and robbed the world of what could have been a long successful career)
I noticed you listed William Joppy smitty. Did Joppy retire I thought he was still (currently) fighting? Roy Jones Jr is set to defend his WBO NABO Light-Heavyweight Title against Manny Siaca Jr. (20-6, 18 KO), surprising he'd pick a guy with such a high wins to KOs ratio 18 out of 20. Roy better lube the chain on his bicycle.
