    :lol: ambitious much? Here are ten wins at middleweight that should be considered for that division, excluding newspaper decisions. I've got them in order too but obviously that's wildly arguable!

    01 - Randy Turpin UD15 Sugar Ray Robinson
    02 - Billy Papke TKO12 Stan Kecthel
    03 - Ray Leonard UD12 Marvin Hagler
    04 - Kid McCoy KO15 Tommy Ryan
    05 - Jermaine Taylor UD12 Bernard Hopkins
    06 - Jermaine Taylor MD12 Bernard Hopkins
    07 - Willie Monroe UD10 Marvin Hagler
    08 - Bobby Watts MD10 Marvin Hagler
    09 - Ezzard Charles UD12 Charley Burley
    10 - Holman Williams UD12 Charley Burley

    Nightmarish, isn't it? Tell you what though, that might be a clear cut top 3 if i'm not forgetting anything - certainly a clear cut top 4.

    Little know fact, Tyson Fury based much of style on Papke, early in his career:

    Ten best wins at flyweights:

    02 - Pone Kingpetch SD15 Pascual Perez
    03 - Emile Pladner KO1 Frankie Genaro
    04 - Pancho Villa UD15 Frankie Genaro
    05 - Tancy Lee KO11 Jimmy Wilde
    06 - Pone Kingpetch TKO8 Pascual Perez
    07 - Hiroyuki Ebihara KO1 Pone Kingpetch
    08 - Young Perez KO2 Frankie Genaro
    09 - Sadao Yaoita UD10 Pascual Perez
    10 - Pone Kingpetch UD15 Hiroyuki Ebihara

    What a nightmare of rivalries and road-warriors and a tangle of championships. There are probably about 20 matches that could fill 09 and 10.
