    I cant speak on Robinson, but the best WW I've ever seen have to be Hearns or SRL.

        If you want my opinion on who is the best, I have to pick SRL. Some of the crazy **** he could get away with just stunned me. His chin, conditioning, power, speed, skill, style were just amazing. SRR is only the tiniest bit behind him, in my opinion, barely noticable in overall greatness, but I have to pick SRL as the one.

          He was my favorite fighter growing up. He could dance he could war, he could jab, he could hook, he had awesome defense.

          The only problem was his many retirements and comebacks etc.

          But I remember people thinking Hagler would kill him and he defied the odds big. Hearns fight so many where he just rose above and rocked it.

          I always hated that damn Terry Norris fight thought where an old Ray was beaten like a rag doll...

            Ray Robinson.

            To consider Pryor a top WW is lunacy. He was a 140 lbs fighter.

              Arron Pryor did most of his work at 140, in no way could he be the greatest WW.

                    Pryor only ever fought 4 times at Welterweight...

                    He lost one of those fights and he was way past prime, his career was at 140
