    It's pretty easy to remember that Tito Trinidad was a better Welter than Lloyd Honeyghan

    Camacho, even though he accomplished quite a bit, he had so much talent that he underacheived greatly. I'm also impressed that he was never stopped in any fight.


    Tyson for obvious reasons. Would have been fun to see how good he really was or if guys like Lewis and Holy could have taken him.

    He's top 10 ... hell he's in my top 10 All-time non HW fighters.

    I factor in style, longevity, consistancy, and title fights.

    he has the record for most title defenses at WW he has to be in any top 5 WW list.

    When I think of Thomas Hearns ... I don't think there are many fighters that can **** with him on the welterweight level.

    Besides Leonard?;)

    I agree though, H2H Hearns is a nightmare for anyone. I think the 2 Sugars beat him at 147 but after that I'm not so sure.

    I know his record but i'm not sure that its in the 20's as far as title defenses ... and at times he was defending his other titles ... sometimes defending 2 belts at a time ... even though its respectable ...

    Anthony Mundine has natural boxing talent in his **** but he has been trained and managed terribly.
