    The second Jones fight was a split decision, Jones was down at the end of the 1st round but not in any real trouble.
    The second half of the fight Jones had McCrory on ***** Street a couple of times but McCrory held on.
    McCrory has no place on this list.
    True he stoped his first 17 opponents who were a mixture of has beens and never were’s, but as soon as he stepped up the ratio dropped.
    His next 23 fights to the end of his career he only stopped 8 opponents.
    Elite punchers carry their power against elite or top ranked opponents.

    I don`t want to put anything in your mouth, I just feel that Spence`s punch technique isn`t correct.

    Sounds like a welter version of Alex Stewart.

    Basilio was better than Jones.

    Basilio fought Robi at 160, McCrory would not have had the power to stop Basilio weighing 160 he never even fought at 160, Robi stopped a tough 160 fighter like Fullmer with one shot, there`s no way McCory could have done that.

    No objective poster would question Robinson's power!

    Well you deviated from that originally.
    Anyway to rate McCrory as the 4th most hard hitting welterweight in history is preposterous.

    Hearns had a mix of power and skill. Cuevas had pure power.

    The reason I didn’t do a list is because I don’t have enough knowledge of the older welterweights simple as.
    What I do know though is McCrory doesn’t remotely belong in the top 10 or 30 or 40 for that matter and for you to accuse someone of trolling is choice.
