    Not neccissarily the greatest fighter to hold the belt. but which Champion had the most impressive Championship reign. Of all of the WBC Welterweight Champions.

    Catlos Palomino had an impressive run. beating Stracey for the belt. survived two wars with Muniz. made many defenses & finally lost title to Benitez.

    Thread only pertains to WBC Welterweight Champs.
    Sugar Ray Leonards reign was short, but spectacular. Beat Benitez for the belt. lost it to Duran. regained it from Duran. then Unified it by defeating WBA counterpart Thomas Hearns.

    Ray Leonard is the man I still think of first when someone says "WBC Welterweight Champion."
