    I've been looking to undertake the task of composing an 'ATG Top-10 Middleweights' list that I can stand by and, looking at Freddie Steele, I think I'm going to find it difficult to keep him out of that list.

    QUOTE="Ra's Al-Ghul, post: 19345364, member: 108619"]No I wanted one for Ryan kicked out here. As I rank Mitchel as Heavyweight.[/QUOTE]
    Then why say this?
    "When an ancient boxer as Ryan, who fought possible more often against heavyweights (or welterweights) gets mentioned, then could it be Mitchel too."

    Ras a Ghul is somebody who would spend a week putting together a list of his top 84 Strawweights of the 1930s

    I don't think Cerdan has a place in this discussion.

    that was no fluke. Mike had Sumbu in his hip pocket, was driven out of his rythym that's why he made that mistake. Mike saw that slpit second opening, and blasted him. that's due to Mike's genius
