Who is the best 154 pounder of all time and why?

[ICB]

CC's for the responses.

Hearns comes to mind. Tough to really pick someone, since most of the great fighters who fought at 154 spent most of their careers at 147 or 160.

Hmmm,I think I agree. 154 is usually by fighters as a stopping point to 160 rather than somewhere to settle.

Good question.

I'm gonna have to go with Mike McCallum. Great boxing skills, good power, and one if not the best bodypuncher I've ever seen. He ate guys up like Pacman. And he's got a pretty good resume of wins. He destroyed a young, prime Julian Jackson in 2. Decisioned the elusive boxing wizard Herol Graham. KO'd Curry. Steve Collins, Michael Watson. Even when he was past his prime in his mid to late 30s he gave James Toney three hard, compeditive fights. I heard him say he idolized Sugar Ray RObinson and tried to be like him. I gotta go with him, I think a prime Mike McCallum beats the S*** out of a prime Terry Norris

Terry Norris is the greatest 154 ever

hmmm...although weren't most of his bigger wins like Collins,Watson at 160? I don't know, maybe I'm wrong?I liked the bodysnatcher,have not seen alot of his fights for a long time,may have to go and watch some now.



If I had to say one fighter,that's the one I'd go for too.

I dont really know cause not too many guys stay there too long... Freddie Little maybe?

Your knowledge is far better than mine,I have not seen Freddie Little in action. Who did he beat and what was his style like?


Guys,how about Winky Wright?Keep the responses coming and cc's all around.

Yes and no yes some of his best wins come above 154 but he did have some impressive victorys at 154 like.

Julian Jackson
Milton McCrory
Donald Curry
