The Top 10 Middleweights since 2000.

Pirog had a very short career. Does he really deserve a top 10 spot?
I mean he has the skills but his resume is paper thin. Jacobs, while he got completely flattened by Pirog, has the better resume. (Due to longevity tho)

 

He was mainly included because he'd likely have accomplished more and he took apart Jacobs.

 

Hopkins
Golovkin

Not sure anyone else counts lol

 

Martinez.

 

Canelo has no wins @ 160 why didn't you debate his spot?

 

Hopkins
GGG
Martinez
Pavlik
Taylor
Abraham
Pirog
Canelo
BJS
Trinidad
Jacobs
Miranda
Sturm
Quillan
Castillejo

Oh I dunno, can't be arsed lol too subjective, too many variables...

 

Hopkins
GGG
Taylor
Martinez
Pavlik
Sturm
Abraham
BJS
Pirog
Geale

Jacobs and Canelo haven’t really done much at MW, Jacobs is simply overrated for having a close fight with GGG. I would put Trinidad in there but his two wins over Joppy and Mayorga at MW aren’t enough to elevate him to top 10.

 

Hopkins, Sturm, Golovkin, Martinez, Pavlik, Abraham, Taylor...
Difficult question as fighters like K Holmes, H Simon were around for the early past of 2000

No doubt Hopkins would be right up there as would Sturm and Golovkin but after that can be quite debatable

 

Canelo beat the linear MW champion.

 

Sturm vs Murray was close I think Sturm deserved the win but Sturm got gifts vs Macklin, Castillejo and Gevor

 

I actually missed him. (Nope, does not deserve to be there)

 

One win should not be enough tho.
Coulda shoulda woulda.

 

All this has done is show how weak the MW division used to be.

 

GGG
Hopkins
Abraham
Martinez
Taylor
Pavlik
Saunders
Sturm
Geale
Pirog

Its hard work comparing across nearly 20 years, basically different eras, not sure if active fighters should get in and maybe Pirog doesn't deserve to be ranked but he still won 4 world championship bouts, which is better than most, not many outside of my 10 would have more?

I think only JCC Jr and Quillin have as many both won 4, no one has more outside my 10?
