    Yeah, it is like splitting hairs because so many LW have moved up to WW, WW to MW and so on. I grew up watching the Heavyweights and then the four kings (MMH, the Hitman, SRL and Duran came along) and it was like a whole new world. I really miss those days, that was when boxing was truly great . . . I hope you had a chance to live through that era.:cool:

    that's assuming it is actually 157-164 pounds which is the median value amongst all active boxers, then especially amongst top level active boxers.

    Good recovery, my lips are sealed.


    I thought you had developed some Benny hate but i couldnt think of a good reason other than a bad run in with a Jewish professional, maybe a lawyer or an accountant had ****ed you over.

    so if welterweight in most eyes is the best division ever, than who exactly was in that division? with welterweight, do you mean including super welterweight or jr. middleweight how its called sometimes?

    for instans sugar ray robinson was at his prime at jr. middleweight, not welterweight, not 100 % sure, but...

    welterweight

    floyd and pac, but both not prime
    oscar and
    This content is protected
    , but again, I doubt oscar was prime at welter, shane was
    trinidad, he was prime @154
    duran,
    This content is protected
    ...? duran in lower weights was prime and leonard yes
    This content is protected

    pernell or chavez were also prime at lower weights

    who did I left out..?
