**** you

 

Good list. Id put the winner of Bursak/N'jikam ahead of Chavez/Lee winner too. Geale and Khurtsidze are not far off either.

 

I hate to say it, but Golovkin and Pirog have done **** all to be in front of Sturm. They do have potential, and I do have to favour them in a hypthetical h2h, but as of right now they have beat nobody.

 

1. harry greb
Middleweight Champion from 1923 to 1926. His career ring record was 264 wins and 23 losses with 12 draws. The 5 middleweight champions that Greb defeated were Mike O’Dowd, George Chip, Al McCoy, Mickey Walker, Tiger Flowers and Johnny Wilson from whom he won the title. He also defeated 4 middleweight title claimants Eddie McGoorty, Frank Mantell, Jeff Smith and Bryan Downey. Greb defeated 7 light heavyweight world champions, Mike McTigue, Jack Dillon, Battling Levinsky, Tommy Loughran, Jimmy Slattery and Maxie Rosenbloom and one future world heavyweight champion, Gene Tunney whom he fought five times

2. sugar ray robinson
tagged as the greatest pound for pound of all time. Robinson combined grace and power, and was virtually unbeatable in his prime.he defeated 18 world champions and defeating 10 Hall of Famers including; Sammy Angott, Fritzie Zivic, Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavilan, Jake LaMotta, Randy Turpin, Rocky Graziano, Bobo Olson, Carmen Basilio, and Gene Fullmer. Robinson was undefeated as welterweight champion from 1946-1951. He was a 5 time middleweight champion.

3. carlos monzon
the man boasts 87 wins with 59 kayos. he was one hell of a fighter. devastating power, iron chin and great boxing skills. these things put with up here in as one of the greatest middleweight ever. he fought and beat legends like benvenute, emile griffith, denny movyer, bennie briscoe, jose napolos and rodrigo valdez. he was simply invincible. unstoppable for 13 years, unbeaten in 81 bouts. he also had division record 14 title defenses. in his 15 overall title fights, 10 was ended by knockout!

4. bob fitzsimmons
ranked 8th strongest puncher of all time, a certified hall of famer, one of true boxing greats. man the guys is naturaly a middleweight but went on the hold three titles in three different divisions, the middleweight title 1891, heavyweight 1897 then light heavyweight 1903. this feat is close to that of henry armstrong!

5. mickey walker
toy bulldog, an all time great who took risks fighting up heavyweight won 109 times and knocked out foes 58 times. his leap from middleweight to heavyweight is simply mind blowing!

6. stanley ketchel
ranked 9th greatest boxer of all time by ESPN and 6th strongest puncher of all time, murdered only at age 24, the man could have easily ended top 5 all time pound for pound judging from what type of fighter he could have been. this natural middleweight fought and beat the best of his division up to heavyweight even sending down jack johnson to the canvass. he fought and beat names like jack sullivan, villy papke, hugo kelly, joe thomas and philadelphia jack o'brien to name some. he won 54 times and knocked out men of all sizes 48 times.

7. charley burley
listed in the ring's 100 greatest punchers of all time, 6th greatest middleweight of all time, 4th greatest welterweight and to me the greatest fighter not to win a title behind sam langford. he was too avoided that he was never given a title fight. burley defeated welter champ fritzie zivic. he easily dispatched NYSAC middleweight king billy soose. he almost beat the man considered by many as the greatest light heavyweight of all time " ezzard charles ". even heavyweight j.d. turner failed to answer the bell when he faced burley and he also defeated the great archie moore.

8. marvin hagler
he boast a record of 62 wins with 52 KOs. he is also the ring fighter of the year for 1983 and 1985. the biggest names he fought are thomas hearns, roberto duran and sugar ray leonard.

9. bernard hopkins
oldest champ, fought and beat surefire and possible hall of famers in oscar dela hoya, tito trinidad, calzaghe and jones. though past his prime, history will still show, was named fighter of the year once. he had the most title defenses as middleweight champ, i think he had 20 and has a brilliant record of 52 wins, 5 losses and 32 KOs.

10 roy jones
a 6 time world champ in 4 different weight classes. he was champ at middleweight, supermiddleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. he is only the second former middleweight champ to win a heavyweight title since bob fitzsimmons. former number 1 pound for pound best. ring magazine fighter of the year for 1994 and fighter of the decade.

Beat me to it.

 

Top list, serg has to be considered number one...

 

1.Martinez
2.Sturm
3.Golovkin
4.Pirog
5.Macklin

Macklin performed admirably against my top 2 so he deserves his spot in my top 5.

 

1. Sergio
2. Geale
3. Sturm
4. Pirog
5. Macklin
6. Chavez Jr.
7. Golovkin

Golovkin is barely a top 5 MW at best.

 

Geale at second place. No way man, no way:rofl

His resume is pretty thin, it really is and that how he should be judged in this one. h2h I am absolute sure there are handfull of guys in top 10 who beats him.

TBH, I never liked JCC jr but he has grown on me and I think I am one of the few who rates him @ 2

1) Serg
2) JCC jr
3) Strum


4 & 5 could be about 5 or 6 fighters. GG and Pirog could be there but so could a few others. Sad thing is MW is being outshone by SMW recently. MW could use a super 6
