The greats who moved up to middleweight

[likeamulekick]

I wanted to know if these welterweights would be as great if they hadn't moved up to middleweight or even light heavyweight to fight the big names and be in I think most cases the underdog.

Ray Leonard
Ray Robinson
Tommy Hearns
Roberto Duran

Yes I do have an agenda which you can probably guess but I wont mention his name but find it hard how hes given a pass.

That's a first around here

It just means he's less likely to be considered top 10 ATG. Few will hold it against him for not moving up but at the same time it would do wonders for his legacy if he did.

The examples of Leonard and Hearns in comparison to the fighter in question aren't relevant. It's convenient to add them to increase the length of the list.

Admitting it is certainly new. I am in suspense.

[McGoorty]

Carmen Basilio is an obvious one, great fighter
