Top 10 Greatest Super Middleweights Ever

ottke is pound for pound the greatest fighter of all time, if, he fights in germany.
he can't be beaten on points, a ko loss would be reversed to a dq.if he got cut the paramedics would be let in to the ring to stitch him up.
he cannot be beaten.
in germany

 

I forgot - Eubank at 10 instead of Ottke

 

fair list but I have to ask what has bute done to get so far up the list he is talented but no accomplishments so far think i would trade him for rjj

 

1. Roy Jones Jr.
2. Joe Calzaghe
3. Steve Collins
4. James Toney
5. Nigel Benn
6. Lucian Bute
7. Mikkel Kessler
8. Andre Ward
9. Andre Dirrell

all of them beat Eubank in the multiple fight series

 

H2H since the divisions' inception :

1. Roy Jones
2. James Toney
3. Reggie Johnson
4. Steve Collins
5. Chris Eubank
6. Joe Calzaghe
7. Gerald McClellan
8. Tony Thornton
9. Michael Watson
10. Merqui Sosa


Worth mentioning : Lindell Holmes , Frankie Liles , Michael Nunn , Steve Little , Sven Ottke (but he will not even make #11) , Robin Reid , Glen Johnson

While I know Reggie Johnson did not fight at 168 , he did at 160 and 175 which is a proof he could have made this weight for a while if not always .
And unlike Joe Calzaghe , he can claim he survived a prime Roy Jones in Jones' prime years and weight (not Reggie Johnson's) , legitimately knocked down prime James Toney (unlike Roy Jones) and Antonio Tarver , outpointed a prime Steve Collins , outpointed Ralph Ward (unlike Gerald McClellan) and clearly outpointed Sanderline Williams (unlike many others which are included in this list)

 

Bute has very deep record with good fighters and with different styles. His KO in rematch with Andrade was impressing. He has very good skills and power at SMW.

It's always a consern when we mix up active fighters with retired ones. I don't usually mix them like that and wait till fighter ends his career to look at him at better perspective. My list is just mine opinion.

 

Chong-pal Park and Lindell Holmes(though is prime was really as a middleweight, as was Park naturally) are worth mentions.

 

Okay maybe I'm under-rating Malinga but the guy has pretty much lost to the rest of the list. I still like him a lot as a fighter.

 

Eubank wins it by a mile imo, outjabs him throughout.That's one of his fights where i really can't see why it's viewed as controversial.Most of the rounds were dominated by defensive work, maybe it was the low rate of landed punches.
