Greatest Contenders - Welterweights

I remember Mike Jones but I think I'd prefer Colin Jones or as he was known in Wales Jones the punch.

 

Guys, I thought of Hedgemon Lewis too, but i believe he won the NYSAC title, which disqualifies him here.

 

This is correct. Hedge would have been one of the first on my list otherwise.

 

Colin is a solid addition to the list.

 

Here they are, the greatest welterweight contenders never to have won the title, as deemed so by the Classic Boxing Forum (always open for additions) BTW, couldn't resist adding 4 more.
