    Also why is the word m0nkey banned? lol Wtf?

    Just ban the racists who misuse the word, don’t ban the word m0nkey. What kind of decision making lead to that choice?

    Good call. Imaginary fat, roided-up Hopkins just might be able to pull it off.

    Did you know that James Toney, when fighting at HW, was no longer a MW?

    Not when he fought Peter.
    Just as Jimmy Ellis wasn't a middleweight when he fought Frazier.
    Ezzard Charles wasnt when he fought Walcott.
    Patterson wasn't when he fought Ingo.

    Ketchel was 170lbs for that fight and the authenticity of the KD is still considered debateable today.

    Why are some of you guys insinuating that I am oblivious to this extremely obvious fact?

    Of course he wasn't a MW when he fought at HW...

    Really? Why am I saying this.

    Perhaps because your thread is entitled?
    "Other MWs that could go toe to toe with Sam Peters"..

    If there is any confusion I believe you are responsible for it,now stop getting so irritated.lol

    It's because I don't want to limit the question to just former MWs. In fact, someone offered such an answer within that bracket. The wording was good. The interpretations of some, coincidentally the ones who don't like where this question is going, are pretty...interesting.

    What would anyone dislike about it? You aren't "mind reading" again are you? I warned you about having that tendency.
    Anyway here's a candidate.Mickey Walker.Schmeling bombed him but Peter was just a slow clubber imo, so maybe Walker could evade his bludgeons?

    My head says Langford. My heart says Fitz too. But that's my unabashed old timer prejudice :)

    Iran Barkley was a huge MW and did end up fighting as a HW in the twilight
    of his career.
