Whats the best era of middleweights?

Oh Christ Kid Tunero too!!

 

SLAKKA, Thankjs for reminding me of Ken Overlin a great fighter who beat a young Ezzard Charles...A great underated swarmer was Sailor Overlin...When he was champ he was called "the poor man's Harry Greb ". for hiswhirlwind style but he lacked Harry Greb"s stamina...No shame their.

Hellva fighter and a great talker too!!

 

McGrain you are correct Freddie Steele fought in the 1930s up to 1940.
Georgie Abrams was a great middlewight who gave everyone trouble...

 

What names from the 50's would you throw forward to compete with Mac's unbelievable 40's list Bill?

 

I'd say either the 'teens or the '60s.

 

I'd say the late 'teens were even better.

Not only did you have Greb in his prime, but you also had the Gibbons brothers, Mike O'Dowd, Jack Dillon, Mike McTigue, Eddie McGoorty, Les Darcy, and others floating around.

 

60's for me.
