Rate your top 30 MW during 2000-2016

Pretty challenging to name 30 best middleweights since millenium, but I did it anyway. Did I forgot someone?

1. Gennady Golovkin
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Sergio Martinez
4. Kelly Pavlik
5. Arthur Abraham
6. Jermain Taylor
7. Felix Sturm
8. Howard Eastman
9. Martin Murray
10. Ronald Wright
11. Keith Holmes
12. Robert Allen
13. Felix Trinidad
14. William Joppy
15. Peter Quillin
16. Dmitry Pirog
17. David Lemieux
18. Daniel Geale
19. Daniel Jacobs
20. Andy Lee
21. Edison Miranda
22. Chavez Jr.
23. Khoren Gevor
24. Amin Asikainen
25. Darren Barker
26. Sebastian Sylvester
27. Anthony Mundine
28. Mariano Carrera
29. Mathew Macklin
30. Kofi Jantuah

 

I don´t understand how someone would put Hopkins clear #1. He has wins against Allen(0), Eastman (0), Joppy (0), Trinidad (1) and Holmes(0). And he lost to Taylor. (With in the brackets how many win over opponents from top 30.)

I had to drop Eastman, Joppy, Holmes, Wright, Trinidad and Mundine down the list because their resume (2000-2016) is very thin. They haven´t won any name opponent really. Trinidad had Joppy but Joppy has win over Eastman, but Eastman and Holmes haven´t really won anyone.

I will keep Golovkin #1 because I rate his win higher than Hopkins wins. GGG destroyed Macklin (KO3), Geale (KO3), Lemieux (TKO8) and Murray (TKO9).

Martinez has win over Pavlik but he wasn´t dominating against Macklin, Barker, Chavez jr. or Murray. Murray on the other hand has 0 official wins but you can make strong argument he won two world champions (Martinez and Sturm).

Talking like a child and hating Golovkin would be enough but you even manage to top that and put Eastman (zero wins against quality opponents), Joppy (Beat Eastman, nothing else) and Trinidad (Beat Joppy, nothing else) on your top 10 list What next?!
