    Briscoe and Valdez need to be added to the preliminary list. Maybe Zale.

    Hearns would go in before Hagler.

    I'm sure there are other candidates but Robinson is as deserving as anyone.

    * I'm not including Langford as a middleweight though.

    Hagler and Hearns hit harder than Benn

    Benn had that one fluke ko of Barkely.

    He couldn't hurt Watson at all.

    He was missing wildly against Watson, if you don't believe Benn was a devastating puncher at Middleweight you're either trolling or re****ed, I hope it's the former for your sake.... :smoke

    Hearns didn't have near the KO resume of Hagler at 160.

    Hearns couldn't hurt Barkley. Or DeWitt. Benn did a far better job on those two.

    Sibson .a flawed fighter but he could really hit .Hagler said he was one of the hardest puncher he faced.

    Last year one of the superb posters here on the Classic(So sorry whoever you are. My memory is shot) mentioned the name Jock McAvoy. I know very little about him, but thank you to the poster for mentioning him.
