heres mine

1. Sugar Ray robinson
2. Sugar Ray Leonard
3. Emile Griffith
4. Henry Armstrong
5. Thomas Hearns
6. Jose Napoles
7. Joe Walcott
8. Kid Gavilan
9. Barney Ross
10. Roberto Duran

Emile Griffith the most underated welterweight of all time

I have to include Felix Trinidad to your list, and perhaps remove Hearns, who moved up to middleweight shortly after losing to Leonard. I agree that Hearns is an all-time great, but he was not a welterweight for long enough. Maybe the same could be said for Duran. It's a tough call.

[Jim Jeffries]

There was NO footage of Robinson as a welterweight, though his record speaks for itself.. my top 3.

Sugar Ray Robinson
Sugar Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran

When PBF retires, replace Duran with him.

based on what? 4 fights at welter?

[wpink1]

how was hearns not at welterweight lond enought...33 fights? Roughly the same for Leonard

Yeah, but Hearns only had 3 successful title defences, before losing to Leonard and moving up in weight.
