Mosley was on some serious gear tho
MW for me.
Thanks for sharing, he sounded a lovely fella.. RIP Terry. Top man & an excellent career. His family should be proud.
Was just thinking about Downes.. beat Paul Pender too & went very close to a world title at LHW, troubling Willie Pastrano in 64 before suffering...
Harry Greb, Bob Fitzsimmons, and Sugar Ray Robinson are all top 10 P4P (IMO) and spent large parts of their career as middleweights.. Sam Langford...

Fought Greb nine times.. Beat men like Flowers, Gains, Risko, Gibbons etc.. also fought Tunney , Carnera, Loughran, Levinsky, Stribling, Bearcat...
Excellent post and I agree.. Rocky would be a LHW today under next day weigh in circumstances.. though he was classed as a HW in his time he...
Probably Rosenbloom by all accounts. No footage but plenty of documented accounts of his style & fights. Flowers might be another one...
Greb Langford SRR Armstrong Fitz/Charles Are my top 5.
Best version of Charles beats Patterson. Charles is right up there with Greb in terms of all time greatness.. better fighter in almost every way.
He was consistently good against them all too.. his style & IQ must have been something to behold
Again it's obviously Greb.. his resume is otherworldly. Tunney, Walker, Flowers, Loughran, Norfolk, Rosenbloom, McTigue, Levinsky, Gibbons...
