    You are right, that is why I put him in top 3. But, I was saying I cannot put him at number 1 because ranking and how one perceives a performance is subjective. And even though the general consensus I cannot rate his performance on my own. I rank him high do to reputation, reports and Resume, but I cannot rank number 1 without film.

    No mention of LaMotta or RJJ? They might not be top 5 but they deserve a mention.

    As great as Sugar Ray Robinson was, he was just passing through the middleweight divion. I would not include him on those grounds.

    During his brief cameo at middleweight Robinson managed to win the championship 5 times, so I think he's probably worthy of consideration.

    Ray Robinson is the best of all time. No doubt.

    Greb easily went up and fought Lightheavies (Supermiddles today) and would cut down to defend his MW Title.

    = 116
    rounds boxed 971

    Greb would have been a big fighter for the other MW champs to handle.

    No doubt, he also lost a few at middleweight. Just to mention that Hagler, Monzon and others defended the title so much longer.
