Come on...
What about Sugar Ray Robinson?
Fours years unstopped at Welterweight.
Sugar Ray Leonard?
Won the Welterweight title twice beating Duran and Hearns in the process.
Pernell Whitaker
Four Years unbeaten at Welterweight.
Those 3 deserve to be at the number one spots.
Whats your thoughts?
:newdb:
In defence of that amazing site, they spend so much time digging up brilliant information IMO you can forgive them a (very) flawed formula for working out their all-time list.
Anyway just looked; they have Henry Armstrong as their #1 all-time Welter; Pryor is their all-time #1 140lber, which would make sense to some (not me). ;)
for offensive he prolly is the best alot of people will disagree but thats what i think
I find that statement offensive, Ijust had too
According to the game for the xbox360 : Friday Fight Night Round 3,
Sugar Ray Leonard of the Welterweight division has a speed rating of 95,
The fastest in that division and any other division.
I find that interesting as they say Zab Judah is the fastest punching
Welterweight ever!
Who was fastest in the Welterweight division?
Who was fastest between Leonard, Robinson and Judah?
Anyone have the answers?
:cwm3:
well think what u like scrap but hes definetly gotta be top 5 offensive in welterweight the guy never stops throwing punches
Ice was having a bit of fun with the word offensive
oh sorry mate lol didnt know what u meant my bad
If kostya tszyu is retired, without bias id have to say he is the best 140 champ ever. The guy dominated a division for nearly 10 yrs, hes up there with pryor.
snakey who would be ur top 5 offensive welterweights ever
LOL Boxrec does have some questionable rankings....But they sure are damn good when it comes to info..I have seen them update a fighters record only an hour after the fight....Everyone knows Ray Robinson is the greatest 147lb fighter ever...Thats where he made his legacy.....But Pryor was tough as hell not the best but tough as hell and should be ranked amoung the best....I think someone said he was ranked #1 at 140? I dont see that either but hey I can forgive them for stuff like that seeing how much other stuff I and other people rely on them for info
you mean just attacking wise? I dont rank them like that.Quote:

No, most of his fights as a pro were at Lightweight, and I believe along with some others, he peaked as a Lightweight.Quote:
