1. Since when was Marvin Hagler a welterweight?
2. The same Maurice Blocker that got destroyed by Felix Trinidad?

MAURICE BLOCKER WAS TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION 1990-93 HE WAS ON HIS WAY OUT WHEN HE LOST TO FELIX TRINADAD.

HANDS DOWN HE'S REGARDED AS ONE OF THE BEST WELTERWEIGHTS AND IF HE WAS STILL BOXING HE COULD TAKE ON THESE GUY'S LIKE OSCAR,FLOYD.ETC..

MAURICE BLOCKER one of the best past or present?

Yeh sure, maybe in Mr. Roger's neighborhood.

THOSE WERE JUST MY PICKS I RESPECT YOUR PICKS THOSE WERE GOOD FIGHTER'S.

Well everyones entitled to their opinion, but Hagler was a Middleweight and Pryorr was a light-welter.... Blocker was a good fighter but not a 'great' fighter... he was clearly beaten by Lloyd Honeyghan who was a better boxer, I'd also rate Mark Breland and Marlon Starling over Blocker and moving back a few years Don Curry and Milton Mccrory....

HAGLER AND PRYOR WERE NOT WELTERWEIGHTS. THEY WERE GREAT FIGHTER'S

Blocker was a good fighter, but he had the chance to step up into another level vs. Simon Brown and he got beat.
Brown has to rank above him .

So why mention them in a topic (posted by you) of best welterweights?

m1kee50 · Post by **m1kee50** » 08 Feb 2007, 10:52

oh btw he is a relative of mo blocker, whcih explains the nepotism

Blocker was a good fighter. He'd be competitive with most and almost always gave a good account of himself.

fair play, but it just shows it in a different light

Heights not everything, if you cant fight height is as useful in the ring as a block of cheese, fact is Blocker could fight, he was more than just tall... he wasnt an all time great though...

i wasnt being derogatory on blocker, just that explains the choice of outfield pick thats all. who else would big him up as a great welter comapred to the others mentioned?

He wasnt.

RICHARDMCCOMBS · Post by **RICHARDMCCOMBS** » 08 Feb 2007, 17:04

POINT IS HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST. ESPECIALLY TO COME FROM THE WASHINGTON DC AREA

By whom? You?!?!? You're just some dork on the internet who doesn't even know how to type.

Welcome Richard, I see you've met our official greeter Decagon, who knows tons about boxing but has yet to attend the charm seminars we put on here at BoxRec.

Now as for as for Dan Blocker's cousin being a top dog at welter...I imagine your going to head into oncoming traffic with that one. And just how accomplished did you feel Hagler was in this division? hmmm come to think of it he was never defeated as a Welter correct? More than we can say about his MW years. Same can be said about Monzon during his Heavyweight years I suppose. Anyways...Welcome to the forum.
