    • Sugar Ray Robinson: One of the remarkable things about the great Robinson is that the welterweight division boasts such an outstanding roster of excellent fighters, and yet no one dreams of doubting the original Sugar Ray is the king of all he surveys at 147.
    • Mickey Walker: Few do not rank “The Toy Bulldog” among the greatest fighters of all-time, pound-for-pound, and it was as a welterweight that Walker did his best work, with wins over Jack Britton, Pete Latzo, Lew Tendler, Sailor Friedman, Mike McTigue and Dave Shade, before he moved up to battle Harry Greb, Tiger Flowers, Tommy Loughran, Maxie Rosenbloom and Jack Sharkey.
    • Barbados Joe Walcott: The hard-hitting “Barbados Demon” stood just over five feet tall, but he not only bested middleweights and even heavyweights, but was also a welterweight world champ with wins over Mysterious Billy Smith and “Young” Peter Jackson before he lost his title to Dixie Kid under the most suspicious of circumstances.
    • Sugar Ray Leonard: Presiding over one of the strongest of welterweight fields, Leonard’s run from 1977 to 1982 is unquestionably one of the most impressive in division history.
