Who Was the Greatest Welterweight of All-Time?

elmersalsa · Post by **elmersalsa** » 06 Dec 2014, 23:08

The posters in boxrec.com voted the following:

Aaron Pryor: The greatest jr. welterweight ever
Roberto Duran: The greatest lightweight ever

Have we voted for the greatest middleweight ever? I think the majority picked the great Carlos Monzon. Maybe I am wrong.

But who was the greatest welterweight fighter ever? That should be an easy choice.

There was only ten options. The great Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns should also be there.

Don't see how it could be any different.

Well, The Hitman could be the greatest puncher in that division , though...What a fighter.

Well, since it is unanimous, and obviously I agree with the voting, who was the second best welter of all time?

I got it like this at welterweight all time rankings:
The top ten in my view:
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Emile Griffith
4. Kid Gavilan
5. Sugar Ray Leonard
6. Barbados Joe Walcott
7. Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles
8. Carmen Basilio
9. Charley Burley
10. Ted "Kid" Lewis

That's the real question...

Ezzard · Post by **Ezzard** » 11 Dec 2014, 07:58

I'd be looking at Armstrong, Britton, Leonard and Griffith.
