the rings top 10 middleweights 1992

yeah real ****

good call

 

floyd is a small wwatsch

 

Martinez in his prime may have and he could of out boxed jackson but he only needed one puch in a whole fight to land

 

I hear the 40 and 50's were pretty solid from some people I spoke to

 

'42 was ridiculous. Seems like the period from the 20's to slightly post WWII was almost always stacked with multiple HOF caliber guys in the top 10 at any given time.

 

50s off the top of my head,

Robinson
Fullmer
Basillo
Olson
Graziano
La Motta
Turpin
Cerdan
Tiger??
Pender??

 

Boxing sure has improved with evolution and globalization

 

Could anyone on that list have beaten Roy?

 

McClellan and Lamar Parks had concrete in their gloves. Kalambay at his best, yes.

 

Imagine what a top 10 list would look like today if we went back to only having 8 weightclasses (or, at the very least, the original 8 drew more fighters than the junior- and super- divisions like they used to).

 

Good point. Now with so many super, junior or light at each weight its pretty dilluted. Just think of it was only middle you would have in no order
Ward
Froch
Groves
Ggg
Martinez
Chaves jr
Lara
Canelo
Stevens
That is if they didnt go down to welter or up to lhw

 

I always said G man would have been a big threat to Roy had they faced off . But then again he would been a threat for anyone to be honest .
