    The Top 25 Welterweights of All-Time – 11 to 25

    By Cliff Rold - The Eight, Pt. 6

    For any new boxing fan, the time is not long before a fellow fan points out a magic number which grows more mythologized with time: eight. As in boxing’s original eight weight classes. The number represents in the mind of many a time when the sport was compressed into fields which couldn’t help but be talented, couldn’t help but draw crowds, because there were so few places on the scale to go. They were divisions marked by single champions ever challenged by a depth of contenders today’s seventeen weight classes rarely know. [details]

            Many actually believe that Luis Rodriguez got the better of Emile Griffith in all of their 4 bouts. Impressive fighter either way and definitely belong among the top 20, maybe even higher.

            Of course the problem with rating him is that he fought the majority of his career at middleweight despite not weighing more than a welterweight.

              Armstrong might be ranked ahead of Leonard.

                  Good to see Tito doesn't make the top 20.

                    Armstrong could be ahead of both, to me Robinson's best work was at 160. Although Robinson was clearly a beast at 147 I would say Armstong accomplished more at 147.
