    Rankings based on H2H comparisons - not necessarily longevity in the division.

    1. Bernard Hopkins
    2. Winky Wright
    3. Tito Trinidad
    4. Kelly Pavlik
    5. Jermaine Taylor

    If Paul Williams ever decides to stay at 160 - he might make a spot for himself as well.

    To be honest, the MWTs have done nothing but bore the **** out of me for about a decade so my answer is simple.....

    Hopkins - class apart - nobody else matters.

    :good

    1. Bernard Hopkins - guy who had middleweight titles 9 years, who beated great guys like Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad and Kelly Pavlik, undisputed middleweight champion - he must be here.
    2. Winky Wright - he gave great fights, he came back few weeks ago for the one of the most dangerous fighter - Paul Williams. Didn't lose by KO, he beated two time Shane Mosley. Very great.
    3. Felix Trinidad - he beated Hector Camacho(exactly, past his prime), Oscar De La Hoya too, only lost to Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. First lose past 35 fights(?), many defenses. Great too, the same as Wright.
    4. Kelly Pavlik - he did a lot, but his lost to 45 year old Hopkins make him a loser. But i like him, two time beating Taylor make a respect to him.
    5. Jermain Taylor - undisputed middleweighr champion, two time beated number one in my ranking Bernard Hopkins, but what's bad? Draw against Cory Spinks, loses to Kelly Pavlik and his last fight, last lose to Carl Froch - maybe better for him to retire.
    My ranking is the same as sugarngold list ;)

    no1 worth mentioning in the same breath as Hopkins....

    Pavlik still has alot to prove
    Taylor proved that he couldn't prove much outside of beating Hopkins
    Abraham will soon move up i believe
    and Wright and Trinidad ain't have much of a reign
    And Sturm......well, we know whats up with him
