    * The form of them you are using must be within the timeframe

    * Ranked by a general summary of their head to head ability and their body of work. (The difference in these two things will cause most of the disagreements. If you are ranking just head to head or just body of work, say so)

    * Make your lists as long as you want, I just used 10 in the title

    * I look forward to seeing your lists

    * Go

    This is going to be a real can of worms.

    the tops fairly obvious.

    1. hop
    2. serg
    3. AA
    4. 3G*
    5. Pav
    6. Cotto
    7. JT
    8.

    and 3Gs not even finshed yet, I expect him to climb at least one more place very soon - he will equal Abe's defence record next but as a unified holder, which ranks him higher on accomplishments.


    *its harsh to judge fighters who havent finished - for all we know 3G may yet surpass them all. I would love to see it happen, being a massive G-man

    This is a pretty good list. Only other fighter I see having a good case for being top 10 was Wright. Drew with Taylor and beat Tito who some may say wasn't a middleweight but he did destroy Joppy. Also beat Soliman who beat Sturm.

    Surprised to see a lack of love for Sturm considering he was in the title picture from 07' to '13 and ran up some good wins despite some controversy. I also felt he beat Murray as well

    A lot bring up that Murray draw, but in my opinion he beat Murray close but clear. It was the Macklin fight before that he got away with.
    Murray got robbed against Maravilla for the Ring/WBC championship, not against Sturm.

    Indeed. He was at the top of the division for a full decade ffs! Any list leaving him out lacks credibility. Also GGG has to be number 1. Any list without GGG at number 1 and STURM well up there is useless and stupid.
