Who's Best 140lb Fighter in History

You would say that you're american and completely brainwashed. You believe everything your government and dissalusioned media tell you.

Keep the politics out of this thread. Ironically, you're the one who believes in conspiracy theories about Aaron Pryor drinking a performance enhancing drink.

That Aaron Pryor beat the living daylights out of Arguello without using drugs? I believe it.

Aaron Pryor for me man! Relentless!

Pryor was not invincible, he got dropped multiple times. He always got back up to win, but the fact of the matter is he left himself open sometimes and could get hit flush. Chavez was a pinpoint puncher, and always broke fighters down.
If there was a mystical fight between them, I would choose Chavez. Chavez was much more durable. Pryor was relentless, but I think he would get hit a bit too often in every exchange and be worn down over the fight.

and Arguello was an outstanding fighter and a great win for Pryor, but lets face it...this was his 4th weight class, and a little bit near the end of his career(theres no way I would call him shot though). Thats like saying Kirkland Laing deserves to be an ATG because he beat Roberto Duran...at 154lbs. Not saying it wasnt a great win, but just keep that in mind.

Chavez dominated a practically undefeated Camacho, beat the **** out of a tough as nails guy in Greg Haugen, beat up a prime oustanding fighter in Meldrick Taylor(although this is controversial, so he gets some points off for it I suppose) and tried hard for rematches, stopped the best version of Roger Mayweather, who was on his best winning streak of his career after beating Vinny Pazienza, stopped an undefeated Angel Hernandez, and went to a draw with Miguel Angel Gonzalez even though he was past his prime. not to mention a ****load of good contenders.

he had 18 successful title fights at L Welterweight. dont talk to me about Whitaker, that was at Welterweight. and the controvesy regarded the Taylor fight...remember that this was 12 rounds. if it had gone 15, there would be 0 controversy. Taylor would have been gone by the end. this matters...if a lot of old fights were only 12 rounds, wed be ridiculing Joe Louis for losing to Billy Conn.

Some blame has to be on the list made by the poster.

Floyd fought Gatti and Corley at 140, so why is he even on the list?

DLH's biggest fights (which he lost) were at welterweight, jr middleweight and middle weight...why is he on the list?

Don't put a great fighter in the poll JUST because they happen to be great and just so happened to make a stop at the weight you speak of.

Hopkins is great, but not a great 175lber in history. He is a great 160lber...

Shane is great, but not an all time great 154lber in history...

focus on the guys who created legacies at those weights over a period of time

why the hell is hatton on that list????
