This is a bull**** list. People talk here like they know every single fighter. I can rememer a lot of boxers from the my middle 60's, but to say who is the best? There is only one way, having fight each other, which I believe is impossible, in the other hand is a matter of opinion. All of them had their qualities and sometime people want to choose a boxer with a 150 wins, 20 plus lost, etc. A lot of this boxers obtained the victory against a bunch of taxi drivers and journey men. Only few fights, no more than 15-20 we can say were decent fights, that we can say they fought with the best. I can choose a boxer and a bunch of haters and idiots will talk ****. The only way to know is to have them fight against each other, the rest is just speculations. Everybody has the same to choose what ever they think is the best, not the boxing writers, which some of them believe they are God and their opinion has to be the best.

I'm going to predict Ray Leonard at number 1. I know many will say Robinson, but I don't know much about him at 147.From my understanding,he didn't achieve greatness until he reached 160.I had the priviledge to follow Leonard's career.If there is a better welterweight than him, I've never seen him.

Putting Mayweather on this list would make the entire list a joke. He has fought Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, and JMM at 147. Only 2 fighters on this list were true welters at the time.

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]
