    Lol since when do weight classes have height limits? they're called weight classes not height classes, you could be 6'4 and if you can make 147 for a fight then your still a welterweight

          Since Paul Williams was kicked out and can't get a fight with Shane, Floyd or Pac.

            tito trinidad was 5 ft 11
            DLH - 5ft 10
            paul williams - 6ft 2

            all fought at welterweight

            whats the issue?
            yea your right i did, anyway, tito did stick around at welterweight for the same 9 years as robinson tho he started at 18 instead of 19, but it's not really a big differrence so

                  skinny ray? i dunno, he did aight against welters, i'd say him and tito would be a good match but i just dont see how he'd beat jones, what does he have on jones at 160? speed? power? accuracy?

                    people are just differnt, maybe trinidads bones are a little heavier or denser or whatever,

                    look at caberello 5ft 11 and makes 122 lb although with a sturggle

                      Why?????????

                      Why would Robinson dominate Jones?
