Who are the greatest post war British middle weights?

Watson II wasn't at middleweight (I don't think anyway).

Eubank's win over Benn eclipses anything on Benn's record, as ironic as that sounds I would also have Watson ahead of the DeWitt and Barkley wins.

The two losses also affect Benn's ranking ranking at middleweight, and that and the other aforementioned factors are why I would have Eubank over Benn. Although, if it was their entire record - then I think Benn is ahead of Eubank :good

 

Awful list Gpat, I'm surprised, seeing as how far your knowledge has come.

 

no probs its opinion

off the cuff aswell

Graham should be number 2 actually

 

quick edit there

I really rate Minter and Sibson i think there amazing.

And Turpin has the best win by a british boxer ever and had some other good wins, come to think of it its not enough

here sthe revised one

1. Minter
2. Graham
3. Turpin
4. Sibson
5. Kaylor nah Eubank

this is actually very hard

 

Very hard, just like the classic all time list.

....but, as much as I can see you want to avoid the obvious in your list to differentiate from the others, it doesn't add up buddy, you know what you have to do.:good

 

I.e stop missing out more modern day fighters!

 

No, put Turpin at number 1.

 

what modern day fighters am i missing out

Benn and Watson.

Never achieved at MW anywhere near the other guys on the list

also Monzon should be top

 

he dosent have the depth in the resume to warrant a top place

 

That as well I actually didn't notice that!

 

Very true.

Listen, Gpater is one of the best posters on here for such a young age, and I very much like him, but a lot of the time you are trying to come up with something different to show to much established posters how much youre learning and so on.

I.e. I have a friend that says Walter McGowan is the best Scot of all time, not because he knows he is right, but because he knows the hard fact is Lynch and Buchanan are, but he wants to be different and show knowledge of fighters certain others don't know about.

Sort your list out truly G.

 

thats honestly what i think.

I aint trying to show how much i know or be different

Point out what you dont agree with and ill give you my reasoning behind it

also

1. Buchanan
2. Lynch
3. McGowan

 

When have I never put Monzon on top of all time MW. I have about £500 of the boys memorablia in my house :rofl

Anyway, i really must log off, its just proving rather difficult.

Peace

 

thats borderline obsessive

i still ahve some Monzon DVDs for you, i can drop them off at your grannies if you want

anyway see ya
