      Oscar De La Hoya

      not to say that all of these would beat zoo 10 time out of 10 prime for prime (some of them were also naturally smaller fighters), and I know you have to push hatton claim to greatness as far as you can, but take it easy with bull****ting stuff like "Greatest 140er ever", ok?
      Barney Ross was a welter. And many people were hailing Zoo as the best 140 lb ever until he ran into a freight train.

        Agreed. This thread is useless though. So lets say a fighter is born in England, lets say Ricky Hatton, then he moves to the United States, becomes citizen, and retires in the United States. Will you be making insulting threads saying he was the best United States fighter ever? This thread is an insult.

            the answer is very simple:

            Barney Ross title fights and record

            2 @ 135 (2-0-0)
            10 @ 140 (9-0-1)
            6 @ 147 (4-2-0)

              I think zoo was a great fighter, but I am not sure I hope he comes back: he is 36.

                  that's not a good sign for a fighter, usually the next thing is NYSAC denies your license!

                    Aussies & Russians should stop fighting. Tszyu is Korean(well, part Korean). He is definitely one of the best Asian fighters ever.
