    Hearns doesn't belong there? He only lost one at welter and that was to Sugar Ray Leonard even though he was dominating with that vicious jab. Very good and underrated techinician. Tito I think he does, he never really lost at welter, but I thought De La Hoya beat him easily. That doesn't take away from the fact that them has a good resume at the division and possed one of the grestest left hooks since Sugar Ray Robinson.

Keep in mind I've only listed fighters that I have seen fight so if you don't see guys like Barney Ross or Walcott it's beause I can't compare them since I've never seen them. Let me know what you think of my list and make yours if you like;

      1. Sugar Ray Robinson
      2. Sugar Ray Leonard
      3. Henry Armstrong
      4. Thomas Hearns
      5. Felix Trinidad

        Naw my dude. I love Tommy hes my favorite fighter of all time. But you can arguably rank Griffith, Britton, Ross, Napoles, Basillo and maybe even Mickey Walker over Tommy.

          HIm keeping his 0 to MW means nothing about WW rankings. You don't judge what other guys did in other divisons when judging one divisional rankings.

          The WW division has a rich division. Tito not even close to being top 5. And, he is my favorite of all time. But, the WW diviosn has had too many great boxers who have a better resume than Tito at WW. Tito is not even top 10 WW TBH. He is clearly top 25 and arguably top 15. I have him somewhere in the top 15 just outside the top 10. And, I have him ahead of a lot of greats. It maybe my bias towards. But, truth he is no where near the top 5. Think about it is he even ahead of Hearns? And, would you consider Hearns top 5? Because, I wouldn't. I think you can even make some kind of a case for Hearns not to be in the top 10. That is how deep the history of the WW division is.

                Yeah maybe that the case, but like I said I've never seen those fighters. i wish there was more tape on them so I could see, but the ones I listed are basically most of the fighter I've seen some/most of their fights.

                  Everyone wil **** on your list because of Tito but I'm glad you put him there that's my idol hahaha.
                  For me it goes like this:
                  1-Robinson
                  2-Armstrong
                  3-Leonard
                  4-Griffith
                  5-Gavilan

                  I don't included Walker and Walcott because they're pre 20's and 30's, way too old to compare at least to me, without videos it's harder.

                  If this was the best WW of the last 20 years I would've included Tito and Hearns.
