    I can't speak for him but i tend to group 147 and 154 fighters together. They usually fight eachother and are basically the same size anyways.

    If they are over 147, they aren't welterweights....You might want to look that up.

    Zivic- he's was croatian, so am I, and he lived in the same neighborhood my father grew up in.
    Napoles- I have been watching a fight of his every day for a few days now. Just amazing to watch. He never reacts to a punch thrown at him. He is just out of range or gets past it, so he ignores them.
    Of recent fighters, I thought Trinidad was at his best at 147. And I liked Jose Luis Lopez, even though he was a flake.

    Do you tend to group 154, and 160 lb fighters together too? Seeing as both divisions have the world Middleweight in them.:lol::lol:
