    Toney fail a drug test twice.

    The Direll brothers don't even approach the top 5 on that list.

    Robinson never fought at Super Middleweight.

    Try again.

    Toney failed drug tests as an old man at HW. Writing him off is like writing Morales off as a FW. He was still a good SMW.

    SMW didn't exist in Robinsons day, but he weighed in at what would be now SMW many times. It's a young division, has to be taken into account.

    So what if Dirrell brothers don't approach the top 5, the very top end is strong. Calzaghe, Benn, Eubank and the Irish man. They're still good. IMO Andre beat Froch.

    Michigan has a population of 9mil. You're counting 5 countries with a population of around 70mil.

    168 isn't even a real weight class and has no relevance historically in boxing its a refuge for guys without the balls to fight at a real weight class 175 and great for fat overweight middleweights who no longer have the discipline to make middle

    puuuleeze its like being the king of something no one gives a rats ass about or been around long enough to matter,

    Sugar Ray competed above 160 which is about 3 times- he was ancient and fought bums- no decent record at 168.But this is a mute point- he's not even from Michigan :lol:

    If the Direll brothers can't compete with the top 5 you aren't naming anyone who are better than anyone who produce the best 168lbers per square mile than the British Isles.

    And are you telling me the only two times Toney ever juiced he got caught :lol:- once a cheat, always a cheat.

    Classic example of someone who struggles to deal with the fact the UK own all of Super Middleweight history.

    If this thread was raised and it was your little area that owned it, you'd be lapping it up and not criticising the fighters that fought there

    If SRR isn't from Michigan then Lennox isn't from England:

    So you don't rate Morales as a LW or SBW then?

    I'm saying I don't know about Toney at SMW. He was a talent though and I'm not going to write him off because he failed a drug test as an old man.

    UK best fighters are B+ level, at best.

    Morales is a drug cheat so that's put's a huge asterix next to his accomplishments. I would find it more believable that's he only did it the time he got caught (than Toney anyway who comes across as a fat lazy twat) though due to his struggle to make weight when he was washed up.

    None of the guys on the OP have ever failed a test however.

    You still haven't named me an area yet, as small as the UK and Ireland, that has produced 13 better 168lb fighters than the one in the OP (than haven't failed a drug test).

    Until you can, clear off and cry about the fact that number 1 on that list schooled your heroes :deal
