What middleweight would you choose......

[H.B.Viper]

Sugar ray robinson!

None greater than that man. Who can match the speed, the power the grace, the guile. The ultimate fighter!
PERIOD!

[Light_Speed]

Hopkins would hold on tight, to the point of getting warned by the ref, he might even simulate low blows to buy some time.

[Canelo Phresh]

Jake Lamotta. Thats an easy one.

I still wouldn't bet on him pulling it off, he'd just be my top choice.

It might seem to be an odd choice given that there are so many higher ranked middleweights in history, many who would......and did beat Graham. But I can categorically state that I've not seen a middleweight in history who at his best was better at slipping head punches early on in a fight.

Hagler, Robinson, Toney and Monzon had superior chins, but 19 year old Tyson was sending heavyweights who outweighed him flying all over the ring, some were unlucky to be hit by rapid combinations whilst on the way down from knockout punches.

To be a middleweight and survive one round with 19 year old Mike, you quite simply cannot afford to be hit, to the head or body. Prime Herol Graham is as good a choice as I can think of......

I've never seen either prime Burley or Greb (obviously as there is basically no video of them) but their reps were that they were elusive, hard to hit and fearless. The only recent middleweights I can think of are Graham and Jones. They were fast and hard to hit. As good as Toney and Hopkins are they would be hit. Hopkins was great at parrying - I don't think that will work with a young Tyson.

Great way to put it, Robinson is the ultimate fighter, considering the UFC has a show by the same name now. Plus there's a new similar show starting this year for boxers. A prime Robinson definitely would've won that.
