    1. Canelo 1
    2. Jacob's
    .....
    ......
    3. Lemieux
    4. Murray
    5. Brook

    ....

    * Haven't seen the Detevy fight so can't comment, obviously on paper it would be top 5 but heard it was a robbery, so I'd want to see it before I listed it.

    * I don't know enough about Murata to list him.

    Monroe over Lemieux or Murray?

    Yes, I give him more credit for Monroe than either of those two.
    But I guess they could be next up behind Monroe.

    I was never impressed by either of those guys and find them to both be highly overrated. Not that Monroe is any better, I just don't think wins over either Murray or Lemoux mean much

    1- Lemieux
    2- Murata
    3- Jacobs
    4- Murray
    5- Derev

    But Canelo I and II would be victories...

    You don't think Lemieux has a better resume than Monroe?

    Jacobs, Derev, Lemieux, Murray, Murata

    I mean his best wins are against Curtis Stephens and Hector Camacho Jr. Sure I guess you could rate him above Monroe.
    But me personally I was more impressed with GGs win over Monroe than Lemoux.
    I'm not saying there's a huge degree of separation, I just thought that win was better .
    As mentioned I think Lemoux was a lot of unwarranted hype

    Hardly anyone wanted to fight close to prime GGG except welter Kell Brook. Respect.

    Easily torturing and battering Rosado is a better win than Camacho, the same Rosado that won rounds against Monroe.

    Lemieux has the better wins, and his losses up to that time weren't as bad, imo. Seems clearly ahead of Monroe.

    But to each their own.

    Thanks for putting up with my questions.

    That's why boxing is judged by humans and not computers

    Murray has had close fights and disputable decisions against Martinez and Sturm in their home countries. Both beat Monroe pretty easily. He's also very durable, I'd have to say Murray beats Monroe, and Lemieux in a war. Murray was big durable and capable middleweight on his night.

    I’d like to give my boy Rocky Juarez wins over Marco Antonio Barrera 1 and Chris John 1 but I can’t rewrite history for my personal feelings.

    GGGs best wins are
    Daniel Jacobs
    David Lemiuex
    Dervey
    Murata
    Daniel Geale

    Facts are GGG does not have the best resume, however his skills are 2nd to none. He was highly avoided between 2012-2016. BJS would have gotten trashed, Cotto would have gotten trashed, Eubank would have gotten trashed, and Canelo would have gotten beat up bad within those years.
