Five best welterweights ever, head to head?

Fair enough especially as i think he was just as good against palomino as he was against leonard. Take it them as duran at welterweight up until after montreal then :good

 

Yeah, Duran at 147 is just a great fighter who only lost once to a great that he holds a win over.:good

 

I never even considered Walker actually, he may well be the right shout, i'm pretty sure i would pick him to beat duran at welter

 

He knows his foozeball for sure, and a good poster.

 

Walker's a great shout, how did we miss him out?

 

I nmentioned him in the very first post in this thread. :bart

 

That you did, my apologies.

 

I think a great one would be-

Robinson
Duran
Leonard
Rodriguez
Walker

 

Hm, I wonder a bit why people mention Rodriguez but nobody mentioned Griffith yet. :think

 

I considered Griffith but i'll admit only briefly. I like Rodriguez as the head to head man myself, i need to score all of their bouts but from the bits i've seen Rodriguez bodes very well. It's a bit unfair to say Griffith is more beatable because he was more proven, but if i'm honest with myself i like Rodriguez in this regard.

 

Boys i'd love to carry this on X X

but i've got to go, later.

 

Top 5 is hard, but it'd have to have Hearns in any top5 head to head, can't believe no ones mentioned him, he'd destroy Napoles and smashed Duran who's been mentioned already. I'd have to pick him over Burley, Walker, Galivan, Mayweather to. On another day of the week he might have beat Leonard, he did in the rematch. I wouldn't see it as a massive upset for him to beat Robinson

 

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Sugar Ray Leonard
3. Tommy Hearns
4. Jose Napoles
5. Kid Gavilan

HM: Emile Griffith, Joe Walcott



Please enough of Luis Rodriguez. you guys really underrate emile.

 

Robinson
Burley
Walker
Leonard
Gavilan

 

Why does Mickey Walker's name keep getting brought up? I think he got a lot better when he went up to middleweight. Look at who he lost to at welterweight.
