Not sure about Rod v Griff - I know he won the title from Griffith then lost the rematch and then lost the rubber match too.

I always put Burley down as a Middleweight - never thought about his Welterweight days

Sugar Ray Robinson

Henry Armstrong

Sugar Ray Leonard

Mickey Walker

Barney Ross

Emile Griffith

Carmen Basilio

Kid Gavilan

Luis Rodriguez

Micky Walker was rated higher at Middleweight wasn't he ?? and wheres Whitaker BIG H ?? i think this is classic example of older fighters getting too much credit but

for the list.

H he basicly always was a welter, Im told he always weigthed in with weigths in his pockets he was never more than 152. He would give a stone away to get fights. The fight ICB put up he was carrying the guy the first time they Boxed Charley had him over twice and he was a top 10 L/heavy.

Thats interesting story Scrap thanks for sharing

I always wanted to see his fight vs Charles i heard they were very close encounters.

ICB they were very close but Charles was only 19 at the time but with a weight advantage. As Ive said before Charles was also special, very.

Whitaker was better at light wieght but he still was a champion in the welter weight divison for for like 4 years which i think is pretty good he was best at welter though and i seen him fight so i can rate him better
