Top Ten Super-Middles!

Chong-Pal Park is the Korean body snatcher, have to always give a shout out to probably my favorite 168 pounder of all time and one of the divisions original champions. Terrible, devastating body puncher who was built like a friggin' tank.

 

Not sure I'd have Collins above Eubank or Benn .I know he beat both but that s a few years after their prime. And I also see Calzaghe besting Steve on points.

Very subjective here as you have a few fighters that have better body's of work at other weights. I tried to base this just on what they've done at super middleweight. I would have to go back and refresh my memory with a few of these fighters records to be fully satisfied

 

Ward and Toney would have boxed Eubank`s ears off, they would have countered him everytime he missed with that wild right hand he used to throw!

 

Name me one skill Eubank had that Jones didn`t?! Reggie Johnson was better than Eubank.

 

Name me one thing these guys could do that Ward coudn`t! Say what would have done against Kessler that Ward didn`t, the skills Ward used in schooling an ageing Kessler was stuff none of these guys displayed though Toney was better than the rest of year list defensively and Jones is the fastest fighter of all time.

 

Defending the title twice as many times

 

Froch >> Kessler

They both have wins over each other. The first fight was very close but the superior fighter usually wins more clearly in the rematch and that was Froch.

You can clearly see Froch has a much deeper resume than Kessler so Ward has the better single win than Calzaghe in Froch imo..

Calzaghe's best win at 168 is Wards second best win and Ward beat Kessler in far more lop sided fashion than Calzaghe did.

The question is do you rate Joe higher than Ward because he has more defenses of a belt even if a lot of those defenses were against taxi drivers.

 

I really like this list in general, but don't you think a prime SMW Jones could do the guys above him?

 

For sure, that's why I rated him so highly.
