    Make a list with your top 5 current 160 pounders based on their best wins.:deal

    p.s: Canelo, Cotto and Lara are not middleweights, didn't fight @ 160 lbs, so they are out of the question!:nono

    Even if they were.
    Sturm bested Oscar.
    Martinez bested PWilly.

    Murray bested them both, and GGG ICED HIM.
    Murray, Geale, Lemieux, Rubio, Ouma, Wade, Monroe, Ishiida, Proxa, Khomitsky, Bouhdla, Rosado, Stevens....

    That is actually a very solid body of work.
    2 would be Jacobs.
    3. Lemieux
    4. Quillin
    5. Lee
    6. BJS
    7. HNN
    8. CEJ
    9. Khurtsidze
    10. Harrison

    Cotto would be #2 on that list, but he's uncomfortable at the weight.
    Yeller would be between 5/8 depending how u rate his Ws at 155....MW

    Its not really about the win its how you do it. However to answer the question of resume wins even if they are dubious.

    1) BJS = CEJ
    2) Jacobs = Quillin
    3) Lee= Korobov
    4) GGG= Murray
    5) Quillin/Lemieux= HNN

    These are just off the top of my head no in depth research

    Jacobs over Quillin is the best win easily.

    How so? And don“t give me none of that undefeated ****. Quillin is on the same level as Rosado. Hell, at this point Rosado might even be a step ahead.

    Upon further thinking

    1 BJS=CEJ
    2= Lee=Korobov, Jacobs=Quillin
    4 Soliman=Sturm
    5 GGG=Murray

    Will need more time to nail it down

    Indeed, Lee has a good win over Korobov.

    BJS- SD over undefeated Eubank Jr and MD over Lee
    Jacobs- TKO1 undefeated Quillin
    Lee - TKO6 undefeated Korobov
    Golovkin - TK11Murray/TKO8Lemieux
    Lemieux/Quillin- UD Hassan
    Eubank Jr- TKO12 undefeated Chudinov

    With the list above I'd say the middleweight division is not that bad. Everybody got tested at some point.
