A hundred and fortyseven pounds. There have been some absolutely terrific fighters that made this weight,who do you think are the ten best of all time? Some names to conjure with. Britton Lewis McLarnin Walcott Delahoya Trinidad Mayweather Napoles SRR Leonard Hearns Griffith Gavilan Walker Ross Armstrong Whitaker Curry Mosley Pacquiao An enbarrassment of riches. Who makes the cut, and who doesn't?
before anybody wades in with whoever, let's add the "-------" lines in here to see where you draw the levels. Do a solid 10 men make a fight of it from 1-10, or is there a 'cream' who rise above and simply must be recognised apart from the rest?
1. Robinson 2. Armstrong 3. Leonard 4. McLarnin 5. Gavilan 6. Hearns 7. Griffith 8. Napoles 9. Britton 10. Lewis Making this list was not easy, and looking it over now, I'm still regretting excluding Walcott, Ross, Mayweather, and a few others. WW has to be the deepest and most talented of the original eight weight classes.
