I was on the fence with Apostoli, Tiger and Freddie Steele. Middleweight is so deep a number of fighters could be argued for the second half of the top 10.

Like I said to Marchegiano, I just don't have a comfortable enough knowledge of Fitz middleweight comp to rate him here.

I see but i dont really know much about Apostoli what was he like as a fighter? what era did he fight in?

[kendom]

I think Robinson needs to be on there based on his resume and accomplishments at that weight.

Here is my list, which is always subject to change.

1. Monzon
2. Hagler
3. Greb
4. Ketchel
5. Robinson
6. Hopkins
7. Flowers
8. Burley
9. LaMotta
10. Apostoli

Okay heres a revamped list if I were to put Robinson in it.
1) Harry Greb
2) Bob Fitzsimmons
3) Carlos Monzon
4) Sugar Ray Robinson
5) Charley Burley
6) Stanley Ketchel
7) Marvin Hagler
8) **** Tiger
9) Bernard Hopkins
10) Jake Lamotta

[young_robbed]

This is just my personal top ten middleweights, I'm leaving off Robinson and Jones as i feel that they were in their prime in other weights, this only includes fighters who were in their prime at middleweight

1) Harry Greb
2) Bob Fitzsimmons
3) Carlos Monzon
4) Charley Burley
5) Stanley Ketchel
6) Marvin Hagler
7) **** Tiger
8) Bernard Hopkins
9) Jake Lamotta
10) Marcel Cerdan

I don't know... To me it's hard to judge these old fighters on just resume when we have no footage of them.. i mean obviously they have to be great fighters but in the end we really don't know. I'd certainly have Hagler close to the top 3 with Monzon and Hopkins higher too...

Too low!

Who would you drop? Do you think he's better than, say, McCallum, Toney, or Holman Williams? :thinking9:

PS. I know someone, somewhere is going to question having Mickey Walker that far down on the list :chuckle9:
