    Meh.

    Super middle is a new and historically weak division, it didn't exist until the 1990s and was created for the men who couldn't quite make the jump from 160 to 175; sort of like a 'junior light heavyweight' division.

    The most accomplished and talented boxer to ever fight there was Thomas Hearns.

    That's right.

    Hearns only boxed there 3 times, but Kinchen, Olajide and Leonard are as decent as any opponent as you will find on any other super middleweight record.

    The quality of these names vs the weakness of most 168 records puts him up there.

    Also, Hearns was the first ever 168 king and the first ever WBO champ; extra kudos for that; he was a pioneer.


    Ok. I may not be taking this too seriously, but I've never really liked much at 168. I do, however, like Thomas Hearns a lot.

    Special mentions also go to James Toney and Nigel Benn, who I also like a lot.

    Yeah, it is true. Evert respected boxing writer rates 'Zaggers as number 1 of all time at 168.

    A bitter and twisted internet troll with a mundane personality such as yourself who argues Joe needed home advantages but signs the praises of Roid and Ward....not so much

    Fun fact- Joe fought outside his home country a higher % of his fights than Ward fought outside his home state. So who really requires home advantage.

    IS your bum still sore nearly a decade after Joe retired? LOLz :lol:

    Ottke shouldn't even be on the list with the amount of robberies he's benefitted from. His rating would be based upon BoxRec without having seen him fight.

    Bailey, you cannot be serious about Rudy Markussen being world class. He is far from.

    The butt hurt coming off you is evident for all to see. Gift decision v B-Hop :rofl:rofl

    I love how you Calzaghe haters try to pretend Joe was in his prime against Jones.

    You got some cream for the sore bottom? :lol:
