    My first thought is does Dana White have particular knowledge of historical middleweights it is he just there as a way to promote Zuffa.

    Kellerman is an idiot. Not taking him seriously and White has no real historical boxing knowledge

    Based on film and resume, Hagler, Monzon and Robinson are tops.

    Based on wins over quality fighters, Greb is tops.

    Based on longevity and lengthy title reign, Hopkins and GGG deserve a strong mention.

    Other elite fighters would include the likes of Mickey Walker, old timers like Stanley Ketchel and Bon Fitzimmons etc.

    Based on what we can see on film, Hagler, Monzon and Robinson are tops. Throw in Greb for resume and Hopkins for logevity as well as Walker and you have a Mount rushmore.

    White actually does know a lot about boxing. He used to box when he was younger and promoted Boxing shows in Massachusetts before he got into MMA. I haven't watched the video but I know he was a HUGE Hagler fan.

    Indeed.
    He seemed to know a lot about Hagler.For example it slipped my mind he had 12 title defenses.He knew.
    Must have been a local thing.
    But to be fair he barely named 4 great MWs.
