    Winky has a surprisingly thin resume at 154.

    It’s not comical, as it was 2005.

    Again, Floyd originally accepted.

    Winky then met all of Floyd’s demands, yet Floyd bailed at the last minute after Winky had called his bluff.


    It’s not top 5 stuff?

    Okay.

    Yet then why did you put Canelo in the top 5?


    You really are an awful poster.

    Seriously.


    Shane was all hype at 154?

    Yet Canelo gets in your top 5 for scraping by Trout and Lara, and for being embarrassed by Floyd?


    Answer me this:

    How have you got the audacity to accuse people of being biased?

    He once claimed John Ruiz was greater than George Foreman.

    It's true that Ruiz has more title defenses, beat the man who beat Foreman (Holyfield), and stopped the man who Foreman openly ducked (Tucker).

    Jake LaMotta beat a ton of guys who were 154 or under, even though it wasn’t a weight division at the time.

    Of course Jake usually weighed 165 or so when he did it. So I guess you have to deduct a few points for that in rating him.

    I am partial to Hearns or McCallum not because of skill. Head to head Mike is tough for anyone, although if you fought Mike on the inside and then that was the downfall.. I think Hearns fighting Benitez and Duran beats Mike's resume. Those two guys are iconic and Hearns to me was at this point the best at 154 so far.

    Love Tommy Hearns. That's without a doubt. But I was also a fan of Terry Norris. There was something about him I found Intresting to see. His chin and willingness to battle, where any thing could happen.

    I actually like Trinidad on that list. He shouldn't have gone to middleweight, at least not so soon.

    Duran

    these were all WW's cum MW's, todays Jr MW's...

    yes, and it is true Hank & Roberto started as LW's, but levelled off at Welter cum MW's.

    Today's Jr. MW's - Stature wise - Height and Natural Weights are ALL Bigger Men, back in the day 'MOST' of them would have been MW's and up.
