Some very big.
Put down your snake,
Colour of fig.
Yes, these middleweights are big.

And so the great man put down his snake, colour of fig, and concluded that middleweights are big.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Sorry I was writing of a touch phone last night when I started the thread, after being frustrated with trying to write a sentence, I couldn't be ****ed as it was late.

To start it off with, who would be the top 5 best "big sized" Middleweights in your own opinion

Also would Monzon be considered average sized today?

 

Hopkins was about 180lbs come fight night wasn't he?

 

I think Roy was too, or at least over 173 to 175, I think they asked him onetime back on HBO in the late 90's about his weight on fight night as a MW, he was kinda of elusive with the details on his weight. I could be wrong though.

 

Roy Jones coming into the ring around 180 without any extra weight qualifies as a big MW.

 

Barkley was huge.

 

I could be wrong but I think somebody came in at 180 against Hopkins I wanna say Syd Vanderpool

 

McClellan came in very big
I think Hopkins was a more natural middleweight than McClellan though
