Admittedly there are alot of holes in this list...but as far as I'm concerned anything could happen in a H2H sense from a list like this...On top, Carlos Monzon, a fighter who fought to his strengths perhaps better than anyone ever did at the weight. Thought about not even including Robinson, albeit he is smaller, on a night at his best, he is at or near the top...Fitzsimmons has the capability of out toughing and literally wrecking anyone. Harry Greb from his record, could be on top. Roy Jones is an unbelievable talent. Burley gives anyone fits with his style and power. Sam Langford, a boxing immortal...Give Stanley Ketchel 20 rounds, and a referee who allows extended infighting and his chances go way up...and what about guys like Freddie Steele? Mike Gibbons? Billy Conn? the rest of the Murderer's Row? Absolute brutal division.

 

at the top is Hagler who is so far ahead of the others there is no second. The Hagler of the Minter, Hamsho, Lee, Sibson fights had abilities of such unlimited scope even others like Robinson, & Jones would have to know fear.

Greb would be my second. He'd have to be with such an astonishing record. Third place goes to Monzon. Roy Jones comes in at fourth while Robinson who was at one time number one, drops to fifth. Cerdan tops off the second half of the top ten followed by Langford, Ketchel, Walker and finally Micheal Nunn who was slick, quick, and would surely cause many middleweights to get sick

The narcissism and conceit of amateurs who factor in such erroneous and blind guessing work as verifiable argument or proof for greatness is amusing. Unless you're Jimmy The Greek sweeping through the bookies correctly predicting five to ten fights in a row, then you have no business conjuring up pure fantasy as credibility criteria. I too once had a dream where Harry Greb swept row against the ten to twenty greatest MWs of all time...

 

He beat your #4 ranked fighter at the weight...
