    It is great stuff, that's why he's on my list. Just not as good as what Jones did.

    Good list. But All Mosley had was a tainted win over Oscar. And Oscar, a win over Vargas. I'd consider Tito there over them. His win over Vargas is better than what those two did.

    I agree.

    I forgot about Tito, he was mint at LMW.

    I think Wladimir should be number 1 for 00s because Lewis's wins over Holyfield were in the 90s, and i think Wladimir's sheer amount of title defences give him the edge here. Although i can see an argument for Lewis i guess it's the age old argument of do you prefer quality or quantity.

    Usyk hasn't done enough for me to be rated above Vitali i'd still rate Vitali above Usyk.

    I can see Vitali over Usyk tbh, but I think Lewis is a lock for 1

    If Usyk beats Fury where does he rate in your list after that ? and vice a versa for Fury.

    What do you think of Arthur Abraham being there over Sturm and Janibek? I feel his best work was at 160, than at 168. Good wins over Edison Miranda (One with a brokenjaw!!) Howard Eastman, and one time respected prospect Kingley Ikeke (6'4" MW).

    For me the winner has to go second after Lewis.

    If Fury beats Usyk then AJ he might well go number 1.

    Usyk would have a bit to go to get number 1.

    I always preferred AA to Sturm at the time. Found his fights much better to watch.

    But I think Sturm has better victories over all, including the Hoya performance.

    As for Janibek, I've got him in purely because he's the top ranked MW in the world today and AA never was.

    He was certainly robbed vs. Hoya. But at the same time, Hoys was never anything special at MW. Certainly not ranked near the top of the MW division when he got his shots at Sturm and Hops. But I do like Janibek. I just think he's top ranked in a relatively weak MW era at the moment. AA was, at the minimum, top 5 as the IBF MW champ, in a much deeper era, with a better resume.

    But I do appreciate the lists you are making Luf.
