  • Your Top-10 All-Time At 160lbs?

    I'm sure it's being re-visited here, but let's bang 'em out & see what we got. Inspired by the recent discussions on Hopkins & Monzon.

    Posting mine shortly!

    -Monzon
    -Hagler
    -Greb
    4. Robinson
    5. Hopkins
    6. Ketchel
    7. Walker
    8. Fitzsimmons
    9. Cerdan
    10. Tiger

    Wouldn't mind swapping out 8 / 9 / 10 with Steele / LaMotta / Langford etc, in fact I could change the bottom half of my list around all day and still not decide on a fixed list.

          01. Ray Robinson
          02. Bob Fitzsimmons
          03. Sam Langford
          04. Marvin Hagler
          05. Stanley Ketchel
          06. Bernard Hopkins
          07. Charley Burley
          08. Harry Greb
          09. Jake LaMotta
          10. Carlos Monzon

          And if any of Monzon's fanbois don't like it then tough ****. You guys are too Goddamn old to be getting butthurt because someone doesn't hold one of your favs in as high regard as you do.

            6. Fitzsimmons

            Zale Cerdan, or Flowers could easily break into this list.

              I would have (in chronological order)

              Greb
              Robinson
              Monzon
              Hagler

              as definite TOP 5.


              Sam Langford, Charley Burley should be in the TOP 10 if not the TOP 5 but where to put them

              Ketchel I don't know what to do with. He was killed at age 24.

              So if we include Langford, Burley and Ketchel then the following are fighting for the final 3 spots.

              Tiger Flowers
              Mickey Walker
              Marcel Cerdan
              Tony Zale
              Jake LaMotta
              Dick Tiger
              Emile Griffith
              Bernard Hopkins

              I'm excluding Jack "nonpareil" Dempsey, Bob Fitzsimmons but they deserve an honorable mention.

                His career was still very, very distinguished. Solid resume against other middles and punching power able to take out heavyweights.

                  1. Monzon
                  2. Greb
                  3. Hagler
                  4. Robsinson
                  5. Ketchel
                  6. Lamotta
                  7. Fitzsimmons
                  8. Burley
                  9. Hopkins
                  10.Tiger

                  Ask me the same question tommorow it may be a different list. I would always keep the top 4 in the top 4 but i could easily switch aroudn the remaining 6 and even swap some for others.

                    Yeah, I'm very comfortable putting him in the TOP 10. I'm less sure about the TOP 5.
