Fitzsimmons.

Bummy Davis · 12-08-2009, 11:38 PM

Greb for me

Boxed Ears · 12-09-2009, 01:17 AM

Koki Kameda.

Sweet Pea · 12-09-2009, 02:11 AM

Greb was the most accomplished ever natural middle, but Monzon was the best champion to reign at the weight, IMO.

Rise Above · 12-09-2009, 05:24 AM

Greb is my pick.

PowerPuncher · 12-09-2009, 06:04 AM

As you said BEST and not biggest legacy it has to be Jones Jr without a doubt

red cobra · 12-09-2009, 06:35 AM

Monzon.

HomicideHenry · 12-09-2009, 06:38 AM

Greb, no doubt. However, had Ketchell never been murdered, its arguable the man could have reigned a decade more---there simply were no middleweights in that time who could have stood up to his punching power, and in the era of 20-45 round fights, I dont see many lasting that long against him.

janitor · 12-09-2009, 07:36 AM

I have to go with Greb here.

Fitzsimmons is a close second.

haglerforever · 12-09-2009, 09:43 AM

marvin hagler, the guy was what boxings all about.both hands, chin, heart.would have had more title defences than monzon if any champ gave him an earlier shot at title.leonard & the pussycats stole his belt in the end,tragidy......

Stevie G · 12-09-2009, 10:48 AM

I would say Marvin Hagler or Carlos Monzon. Sugar Ray Robinson was better than those two,pound for pound,but he was at his very best as a welterweight.

redrooster · 12-09-2009, 10:52 AM

probably Hagler (1977-83)

either him or Monzon
