What does Rubin Cater's WW run or any run for that matter have over Napoles' ?.
Napoles' run is easily top 10 WW material, it's just ****** too have him below all of your lists names from 10-22 (Exception of Emile Griffith maybe), what did Benny Paret do ?.
Give me a break down of your phenomenal list and why they belong there.
Should be fun providing you actually know what you're talking about.Last edited by NChristo; 12-27-2011, 10:45 AM.

If someone asks me to make a Top 10 Middleweight list, I'm suppose to list anyone that fought between 154 - 168?
If someone asks me to make a Top 10 Heavyweight list, I'm suppose to list anyone that fought at 175 and 201+?
Let me put this as simple as possible. Now a days, if someone asks you for a WW list, they're "probably" talking about 147 max weight. Not 140 - 154...
Hey Spray, do you what I'm talking about when it comes to having make elementary comments for these grown men? LMAO

You guys are to young to even be talking,but if your talking to a boxing historian like myself the answer is yes. If you go back to the 1800-1900s heavy weights were alot smaller. For instance Jack Johnson , which I have as #1 on my heavy weight list ATG began his career at 185 pounds. He was a very dominate heavyweight. If you want to learn just ask! I know more than you would ever know about boxing!
The same applies to Marciano. Yes, he was a tiny heavyweight, but he was still heavyweight.
That doesn't mean take today's weight class of Light Heavyweight and cruiserweight and tie them in together just because the fighters in the early 1900's were around this weight...
Are you saying the Johnson is one of the greatest Cruiserweights?
Are you serious or just kidding?Last edited by BoxingGenius27; 12-27-2011, 10:51 AM.

There is nothing to discuss! You dont like my list , then thats ok, who gives a ****. Post your list of welters from #1 to #21. If you cant then shut the hell up! I see most of you didnt even know that all of the guys on my list were WW at some point in thier career. If you are one of those guys then you should be quiet, for real because your knowledge is not deep enough to even have an argument. If you disprute my list show yours, or hide behind your computer talking bull****!
And, the fact is that SWW is not WW. No matter what era it is. SWW would be either considered SWW now and 50 years ago. Or be considered MW in the original 8 weight-classes. Not WW man.Last edited by jrosales13; 12-27-2011, 10:51 AM.
