Poll: Who's The Greatest Welterweight..?

[mickey malone]

This is one that's been bugging me.. I can't make up my mind with the welters.. It's outta these fighters.. I'd also be interested to see what order you guys would place them in..


No particular order..

Ray Leonard
Ray Robinson
Felix Trinidad
Pernell Whitaker
Kid Gavilan
Oscar De La Hoya
Jose Napoles
Henry Armstrong
Carlos Palomino
Shane Mosley

Anyone you think should or shouldn't be in the list would be welcome, as this is a division I could do with learning more about.. Maybe the guy that you rate at no1 isn't even listed.. Please let me know.. Regards mm

Robinson was the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be at 147

A bit of Bret Hart there

All great fighters but I would have to go with Ray Robinson. Second would either be Leonard, Whitaker or Napoles. Tough choices.

My heart's always been with Robinson, but my head goes with Trinidad.. Am I badly wrong here?

[bojangles1987]

Ray Robinson is pretty much recognized as the best ever, and welterweight was his best weight, so the REAL Sugar Ray is the best welterweight.

Taking a page from GJC's dry, ironic sense of humour I see
