Five best welterweights ever, head to head?

Robinson
Leonard
Walker
Burley
Napoles

wildcard: Walcott.

All guesswork though.

 

Are we supposed to try and top that Ring list?

 

Robinson
Leonard
Gavilan
Luis Manuel Rodriguez
Napoles

 

oops, head to head, I'd have to include Tommy Hearns (remove Rodriguez)

 

Robinson
Leonard
Rodriguez
Gavilan
and as good as he was, my wildcard is Napoles

Sorry for the honourable mention, but i'm torn between Gavilan and Burley.

 

That's why i have him as my wildcard, not so much the cuts, but the strength.

 

I'd have to go for Armstrong in a head to head. Napoles would try everything i reckon, boxing, and find it difficult, working combos advancing forward would likely see him outlasted by Armstrong. Seen as though Armstrong is small himself though, i don't see it as Armstrong just sticking Napoles in a corner and pounding away, more that he outlasts him. Any thoughts yourself?

Like i said in my post above, if i'm getting rid of someone, i'd actually consider getting rid of Gavilan for Burley. Gavilan's more skilled with his hands how i see it, he's a surgeon in that regard, but ring generalship is no joke, and Burley seems to be the man there.

 

Robinson
Burley
Leonard
Duran (Montreal)
Gavilan

**** that was hard, Rodriquez,Hearns and Napoles are damn close. Not sure you could have choose a harder division!

 

I like you mate but i hate it when people say Duran (Montreal)

 

He's only pre-empting the onslaught of PowerPuncher.

stevebhoy is a great poster though and he supports the right football team; I think you should let him off
