ten greatest middleweights

That´s not an opinion, that´s denial of facts.

 

thats right, but it would still be a opinion (even though it would be a belief against common sense), if someone truly believes that then its a opinion.

which is my point.

 

No, it´s not. There are facts and their are opinions. That the earth is a globe isn´t an opinion is a fact. That Hagler beat much better opposition than Hopkins isn´t a fact, it´s an opinion. You can prove the first one to be 100 percent true, you can´t prove the second one. It doesn´t matter what that person believes or not.

There is a good list of middleweights many of whom are not on any lists nowadays, but most of whom could give anyone a run for their money and dont deserve to be forgotten.

 

we always hear about the usual suspects, I like to see others get mentioned as they are just as worthy, so here goes...

Jack Dillon
Freddie Steele
Fred Apostili
Jock McAvoy
Bert Gilroy
Charley Burley
Robert Villimain
Ruben Carter

and many more yet, pre 30s I'm not sure of, Gibbons boys, and even late 50s and 60s that made the top grade yet were never champs for one reason or another. I think these lists are important for the sports history of champs and truly top men.

all top capable fighters fit for any middleweight in history.

Maybe someone could do lists for the origianal 8 weights of say the top 25 fighters from Boxing's leading Nations or Regions of Not the usual suspects(?).
