    Thanks,it was hard leaving out Jackson,and Valdez,then you have Graziano,Hearns and I hadn't considered Garcia until Seamus mentioned him .But some have to be on the sub bench.

    It's a deep lineup for sure. If Jackson had a little more of a track record at 160 as opposed to 154, I'd have had them on there myself. I wouldn't argue against someone who did.

    Same principle applies for Hearns, as I rate both fighters' power highest at 154.

    Garcia and Valdez are guys who I didn't immediately think of, but could see a good argument for now that they've been brought up. There's simply no shortage of middleweight punchers.

    I won't mention GGG's name as a candidate now, but if he can land the bigger fights and continues to knock people out, the door's open for him.

    In GGG we might have one of the alltime great middleweight fighters
    of alltime, but with today's matchmakers politics and fighters not
    fighting the best opponents the public wants, we might never know.
    I've been around a long time, saw the best, but in Golovkin we might
    have an alltime great MW banger. He is a baby faced killer...

    As a boxing fan, nothing frustrates me more than a guy who looks like he could be something special that never gets the chance to prove it one way or the other (or if he does, it's late in his career) because of boxing politics.
