favorite welterweights....I think mines probably Emile Griffith

Well Mayweather right now, but from what I've seen Sugar Ray was so fun to watch. I wish I could see him at welterweight.

If I had to pick an era that wasn't televised it would definietly be the 50s. Well the 50s were televised, but rarely. I'm talking about like today.

Right now, Mosley, all time, either Hearns or Whitaker.

I loved watching Shane Mosley fight and he has class, my vote for favorite welterweight.

I feel like mentioning Jose Napoles because no one else will.

tommy hearns

From the footage I've seen, Ray Robinson.

Favorite welter of all time has gotta be Sugar Shane Mosley

yeah right now, my favorite welterweight fighting is probably mosley....hes got talent and class.

hearns...............

Mine is definetely Sugar Ray Leonard!!

Robinson's last fight as a welterweight. One of the only welterweight Robinson fights ever filmed.

I'll go with Hearns

Jose "Pipino" Cuevas is my all time favorite welterweight.

Roberto Duran didn't stick around long enough to really call that division home, but he was really something else the night he beat Ray Leonard!

I'll tell you what, there is just nothing better than a great fighter with true class. Kostya Tszyu was always one of my favourite fighters as much for his class as for his fighting. He never trashed talked or put an opponent down and was always respectful inside the ring and outside.

Ray Robinson was all class. You see in the second middleweight vid when he hits the fighter who nearly goes flying out the ring and he stops fighting to try and grab him to keep him from falling through the ropes. Then when he has beaten some poor dutch guy and knocks him down he then goes and helps him up when it was over! Ahhh, what I would do to see that type of chivalry and class in one of todays champs. Thats true respect! He has no need to go putting down another fighter or talk **** because of his fragile ego. A magnificent, strong minded champ.

For me, Ray Leonard was and is a guy that I can't look away from when he fights.

he had more natural talent then floyd mayweather. i'd say mayweather has the better boxingb rain though.

sugar ray leonard of the last era. love him or hate him mayweather is the purest boxer of this era mayweather leonard would have been fantastic.

im going with mayweather

That's funny, because many in his life have referred to Robinson has a guy with little class.:thinking:

Floyd :):) :boxing:

currently margarito

Whitaker, Hearns, Pryor

Wow, no one said Tito yet? He's my all time favorite. He was KOing or embarrassing everone in the 90's when he was a welter.

In the 1990's you just couldn't beat the excitement that Trinidad brought into the ring. He gave you a great fight...EVERYTIME! Just about everybody knocked Tito Trinidad to the canvas. But how could you not see the heart of this champion, coming off the floor, and knocking the dude out! That is pure exhilaration, I can't remember a time when I was sitting down! The first time I sat during a Trinidad fight was when he fought Winky Wright.

Aside from Whitaker it would be Jose Napoles. Brilliant fighter.

the real sugar, ray robinson and henry armstrong are tied for me

i'd go with cotto.. he's my favorite fighter now, it would've been great to see those other guys fight, but there's something about watching a guy live.. i can't say some of the older greats are my favorite, when i have watched them fight.. i've followed cotto's career mostly

i can tell who i'd love to see fight, hearns, leonard, duran, robinson, and others, but cotto's my favorite because he's from my era, and i'm watching him progress
