    Both have good names on their resume of couse, and I think both would give any MW a very hard night but I do know where you are coming from in terms of them being overated.

    Looking at todays MW division though I think your pushing it a bit to suggest that niether would be at belt holders. With Hopkins out of the way, in face, i'd expect them to be fighting a series for the undisputed title.

    I have to disagree here.

    In fact if Robinson is one of the two then I am not sure who the other is.

    Toney- Did more than Jones Jr. at this weight. In fact, only reason I feel
    Jones is best super middle ever is because he beat Toney.

    You can argue Burley as well. I didn't think of him earlier, because I was trying to think of champions. It is not his fault he did not get a title shot, unless you want to hold how good he was against him.

    Holman Williams is seriously underrated he has some huge wins over Moore, Booker, Cocoa Kid, Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Jack Chase, Aaron Wade and Satterfield.
