    Greatest *Super* Middle isn't at all problematic

    T/s needs to change the title I voted no because he never won anything at middleweight yet he's ranked as number 1 at super middle which I probably agree with.

    A case can be made for him as the greatest SUPER middleweight. But did he even ever fight at 160?

    No, the Ring Magazine ranked him number one at SMW, if you follow the link. @Sean weir screwed up not just your title but the OP.

    It is the Ring Magazine after all, a publication which has zero gravitas and credibility. Therefore, any opinions voiced by them should be taken with a spadeful of salt.

    They will if you pay them enough bribe money to fix the ratings on any such poll. ;)

    My God. Everyone knows Joe Calzaghe fought at Super Middleweight, before moving up to light heavyweight at the very end of his career.

    I wanted to keep the title shorter, and have continuity between title and post below. Everyone that thinks they sound smart pointing out Calzaghe never fought at middleweight, or faking confusion is a halfwit.
