    The most relevant factor is the one not measured, the fighter himself.

    Very true. No physical measurement means anything. To be a great fighter it's the amount of fight inside the man that counts. This cannot be measured with a measuring tape.

    Canelo and Cotto are outliers and probably both deserve multiple asterisks. Top middleweights these days are almost all 5'10 or better.

    I know this dude, it's fun to be a douchebag sometimes. It's almost certainly because middleweight fighters aren't middleweights on fight night. In fact I'm not sure what I said almost certainly for.
