Greatest Welterweight?

[pugilistprophet1994]

Who do you think is the greatest welterweight of all time? I gotta go with Sugar Ray Leonard. He beat Benitez, Hearns, and Duran. 3 Hall of Famers. Although his reign was relatively short.

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Sugar Ray Leonard

I'd say people actually judge on fighters they have seen and use their own minds instead of going by what everyone else tells you to say.

there's a bit of footage floating around on youtube of robinson at WW. there are a few threads in the history section with the links. at MW he was a monster, and he was beyond his prime. at MW he's well filmed.


the man is the consensus greatest WW of all time. you'll have beef with quite a few people if you cant accept robinson as an answer to the TS.
