    1) GGG
    2) Jacobs = Canelo
    4) Saunders
    5) BJS

    That being said, if we are talking about how good they are right now, maybe Jacobs beats everyone, maybe Charlo or Derevyanchenko are the goods, who knows ...

    Great times ahead for the MW division, there's some real depth there with Andrade planning to move up as well.

    Canelo would destroy jacob. Jacob is extremelly overrated here imho. I never liked his boxing very much.

    1. Golovkin
    2. Jacobs
    3. Charlo
    4. Canelo
    5. Lemieux

    This list will likely change in a year. 1-4 are also very close in skill to each other. Lemieux is not in any of their class, imo.

    Golovkin
    Jacobs
    Canelo
    Derevyanchenko
    Lemieux

    Charlo is untested at middleweight, he only fought a one legged opponent, BJS has been too inactive and hasn't look good enough in his last 2 fights

    I think Charlo trashes everyone in the MW division currently to be honest

    I have a hunch that may be the case, but he's too untested for me to put him any higher.

    1:GGG
    2:jacobs
    3:canelo
    4:Lemioux
    5:charlo/derevyanchenko/Bjs

    theres 7 good ones and 5 spots haha. I probably got lemioux a little high.. but hes the only one out of charlo/chenko/bjs to fight real talent at 160 so that's why I put him there..

    Golovkin
    Lemieux
    Jacobs
    Derevyanchenko
    Murata

    I don't have Canelo there because he doesn't have a win at MW yet but as soon as he does(which I think will be soon) I will put him there. Same for Charlo. The reason I have Jacobs so low is because his only win that matters is against Quillin who I don't rate very highly. Murata is high after his "loss" to N'Dam because there is no way he lost to me and he won impressively. Derevyanchenko seems to have a pretty high skill level and to me appears more impressive than Lemieux but doesn't have the wins. Actually I should have him below Jacobs. (Initially I didn't but then I thought about it and fixed it)

    Saunders looks pretty bad to me.

    You know who I want to see get a shot against someone solid? Luis Arias.
