nice list,, I would add oscar de la hoya on it somewhere,,, H2H he was a monster at 140, though his stay there was short..

Tyzsu i find to be terrible overrated... Good fighter, but his resume is basically him beating up never has beens paper champs...... Judah is probably his best win

Hatton should get some love as well, not top 10 but he would be top 20

Just my thoughts

Agree aswell.

Tszyu is no more overrated than Pryor. The division itself doesn't really grant much historical value.

Tyzsu is defo a top 10 light welter for me.

Maybe 6th is a bit high but I've always had a soft spot for Tyzsu. He's a guy I always enjoyed watching.

Good point but Pryor at least can say he beat arguello who is much better, even a fade version, then anyone on tyszu's resume..

140 does have a deep history, it goes back to at least the 40s.. It's much more historical than say cruiser or super middle...

Tyszu was a really good fighter, but hard to rate him as the 140 great when he beat leija, tackie, shambra, Judah. Good fighters but not an atg resume

I enjoy watching him as well, and honestly I don't mind your ranking of him.. He really legitimized the division and really hyped it up, and made hatton a star, who in turn became one of manny's and Floyd's biggest wins.. I think he is a great fighter, just his resume sucks.. Would have loved to seen him fight Shane and oscar, or floyd

Tszyu had great wins over Gonzales and Ruelas, i think had he kept his style before the Phillips lose he's been much more talked about. He fly up the ranking quick, fought a lot tough fighters coming up. But that Phillips fights did to him what the first Barrera lose did to him, they both became much calmer fighters and took it easy on there oppponet after their first lose. Don't know what happend to Tszyu in the Hatton fight but Hatton was mauling him doing whatever to win. I think MItchell gave a good account of himself in his 1st fight with Tszyu, the 2nd was a mismatch.

I plan on checking out some Tszyu fights. Any particular ones recommended?
