The Top 25 Welterweights of All-Time – Top Ten

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - 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]

Money May is so great that if his name touches parchment, the particular parchment bursts into flames, which is why he's left off these lists.

A fine top 10.

It's only a fine top 10 if you were born elevinty billion years ago.

Everybody knows that the athletes of yesteryear are physically and mentally inadequate when compared to their more modern counterparts.

How do you think Money Maii got as good as he is? Money Maii is the result of millions of years of evolution, advances in the sciences of sports and physical fitness, and decades of research in the field of cryonics.

I like Money Mai's skills. He should be up there with Sugar Ray Leonard. The difference is Leonard actually fought all the best fighters out there. Money hasn't done that yet. The sad thing is he can probably beat them, but "probably" won't get him on any list.

They all had Scurvy & Brittle Bones.

I have McLarnin and Gavillan ahead of Leonard. But, Cliff did more research than I did so I take his word for it. Great list...
