    What's Arthur Abraham doing in the top 10? He wouldn't make top 100 in my book. Same with Sturm. And now way Bhop is the best.

    Yeah not a great list. I love Darcy but he is not a top 10 middleweight.

    Sturm and AA are a joke.

    Martinez deserves to be in front of them in the modern era even though he was a probably a LMW / MW

    I was equally surpised to see Arthur Abraham there ahead of the likes of Jake La Motta, Dick Tiger, Mickey Walker, Bobo Olson etc.

    Here's his argument for Arthur Abraham >>>

    "This may be a controversial pick given that "King Arthur's" reign unfolded largely in Germany against low marquee challengers and that he didn't unify the belts against Taylor or longtime WBA belt-holder Felix Sturm in what would have been a domestic blockbuster. While those are legitimate knocks, there are also counterbalances that tilt the scales in his favor.....continues below:

    It was a great shout until you read the list. Sounds like a popularity contest or something

    Why didn't Sturm ever fight Abraham anyway??... At least our boys fight each other

    Yeah, it's not a list I'd defend.
