    Nicely made, though including the Pavlik vs. Taylor fights (which were pretty iconic and career-defining) would have been a good idea...

    Also, if you're going to count Calzaghe as a MW then a few more flashes of Kessler are necessary

    wrong title joe is/was a s. middle . . . I would have loved to have seen a rematch with Bhop. I had Bhop winning a close decision in their first incounter, but it could have gone either way. I would have liked to see him fight RJJ in his prime instead of that washed up version that should be in an old age home. It is a shame that all these great match-ups never happened (including with Toney, who I think is the best pure boxer of the lot). Oh well that is the business of boxing.

    Well i meant middle/supermiddles but thought that title would be too long.....and i had Calzaghe winning by 3 or 4 rounds in the hopkins fight and yeah he should have fought roy jones in his prime and called him out after he knocked out will mcintyre or however you spell his name. but Calzaghe was never that big a name at the time and Jones was more focused on moving up to heavyweight but there you go i guess.

    Still I prefered to have seen Toney Eubank/Benn and see his big mouth get shut by two of the greatest supermiddles of all time.

    In the past 10 years I think Hopkins, Abraham, and Pavlik were the best. 2 things to remember, number 1 is that if Hopkins fought Taylor at 170 or 175 Hopkins would have won cause he was having too much trouble making 160 lbs at that point in his career, and if Pavlik didnt go up 10 pounds like a dumby to fight Hopkins he would still be undefeated. Abraham is undefeated and I think he will turn out to be a great middleweight.

    Abraham does not quite have the resume yet but he certainly should be in the top 5 (maybe even top 3). If King Arthur does not knock you out he wins by a large margin (not even one split decision-all wins are by KO or UD)! To go more in-depth even in his 6 wins by UD he put his opponents down 6 times. That's the mark of a dominant fighter!
