    At 160 Jones was a scary prospect. Maybe Hagler, SRR? There's a few other fighters like Monzon, Charley Burley and Freddie Steele but I haven't really seen enough of them to judge acurately.

    Nobody beats RJJ at 160 or 168, maybe not even at 175.

    I intentionally avoided 175 since I think he can be beaten, but I would definitely favour him over anyone at 160/168.:thumbsup

    There are some people you could reasonably argue would beat him, but nobody is a lock. He's in the mix for GOAT even at that weight.

    Hearns that lost to Hagler would have knocked him out

    160 is kind of intresting. The best head to head guys are probbly not the best all time middleweights. I'd pick Jones, Toney and Nunn over pretty much any middleweight. None would make my top 5 @ 160, and probbly not even top 10.

    He was capable, I would not favour him though.

    if you'd pick them over any middleweight, then how the **** do they not make your top 10 middleweights?

    I don't think they fought at 160 long enough. However at thei best they would beat most likely beat other middleweights at their best.
