Jackie Berg
Tony Canzoneri
Barney Ross
Dulio Loi
Carlos Ortiz
Niccolino Loche
Antonio Cervantes
Wilfred Benitez

Julio Caesar Chavez

 

Not necessarily, maybe a little bit. Napoles was pretty small for a welterweight.

A few queries though I think the list is excellent. Floyd Mayweather Junior should be on this list. He was outstanding at 140 pounds. I think Pyror may have been able to beat Chavez at 140 pounds. Not certain but possible

 

Mamby was a real good fighter. He beat Obisia Nwakpa over 15 rounds in the 80s in Lagos Nigeria to defend his WBC title.

 

Ouch. Here to help.

The Ike that sat The Keed on his arse.

Barney Ross.

Duran and Napoles at around 10 stone.

And the Kalule that weighed 142lbs for the World Amateur championships in '74, obviously.

 

Yeah, against woeful opposition.

 

Olu my man! How are ya'?

As you know, Saoul Mamby was a road warrior, as champion, challenger or journeyman.

Oh, yeah I posted this as well tyler; Mamby arguably being robbed (from what we have admittedly) against an undefeated Edwin Viruet :good

LittleRed trolling me again, merciless this guy :ban

 

Ha, imagine forgetting Duran.

Him and Napoles at 140lbs, about as good as it gets.

 

Very early stuff from both men there, I was amazed when it surfaced.

 

Don't know what you're talking about.

Have you seen any Eddie Perkins. Looks excellent in the fight I've seen and has a great looking record.

 

Meh, give me Fuji-Muangsurin and Hamada-Hiranaka in an Oriental caveman tournament. A champion Nak Muay. An Olympian. A TV pundit. And Paul Fuji.

Four of the biggest punchers in the divisions history. nay, the history of sentient beings winging away.

 

Of course. Seen him against a Jap' and I have a snippet of rare footage of him as well I think. There are a couple of fights of his knocking about. Don't I have the Jap' against someone else as well????

Great feints and mastery of countering from what I remember.
