    To be fair he did say "most unbeatable" as wild as that is.

    SRR at 147

    Was actually unbeaten at the weight
    Beat ATGs at the weight
    Beat MWs while he himself was under 147

    A lot of other candidates were either beaten (early or past prime or whatever) or didn't have to contend against a great generation.

    Why at 160? He should really have two losses to Overlin at 160.

    I have always thought the same about Hagler fighting under modern weigh-in rules (although I think you meant to say junior middleweight, as opposed to junior welterweight). He would be unstoppable.

    Mayweather - 130
    Pryor - 140
    Jones - 168
    Chavez - 135
    Hearns - 154
    Armstrong - 126
    Marciano - 190/>200 (he would be a CW today)
    Robinson - 147 (would have said Leonard, but he lost to Duran)

    Tzyu stops Pryor... undersized Arugello came damn close, but Pryor was slipped the magic potion.

    Jones loses to Canelo.

    Chavez gets raped by guys like Duran, Ortiz, Ike Williams.

    Armstrong was rubbish at Featherweight. A bloated Midget Wolgast, in the rounds he actually decidedto fight, was beating Hank to the punch.

    Nah. Pryor was durable af with insane stamina & work rate. Tszyu struggled with pressure (Philips, Hatton). Pryor wass better than both of them would drown Tszyu with constant pressure. Tszyu will have his moments (maybe even drop Pryor), but Pryor will get back up immediately & go to a 10th TKO Stoppage - after Tszyu's corner (or the referee) stops the fight.

    Lol

    Don't know about that. Chavez (even though only had 6 fights) was a force at 135. He might not beat them all, but then maybe he would.

    He was still formidable & it's just my opinion bro.

    Your right not to get it, my mistake soz.
    I had thought the thread meant at what weight was the multiple champs best at ie: they might have been champ in 2/3 weights , but which was their unbeatable weight , not sure if that's any clearer :cool: keep well.
