Best middleweight?

[Jamesboxwriter]

Would Roy Jones Jr. been the best middleweight if he would have stayed in that divison?

[rightsideup]

sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time. Jones was a talent but would have stayed longer in the division if he could make weight.

Harry Greg deserves a mention as well.

Roy was scary as a middleweight and it would have been interesting to see what kind of legacy he could have built there.

i wish this was nsb so i could troll you

but yea we all know you meant greb

[ShoulderRoll]

Yeah, I obviously meant Harry Greb. ****** auto correct.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

IMO I will take prime hagler, with monzon and greb close behind..

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Roy could have been in the discussion if he stayed at mw and landed bigger fights like McClellan

His resume is super thin at 160

[Ray Corso]

Sugar Ray is the best at 160 EVER and the best at 147 too..EVER!

Ray.

Ray.

I disagree.. While Ray was no doubt the best welter, I can't say he was the best middleweight ever.. Very good, top 5 all time at the weight, but he did lose the belt 5 times, and too guys that would never beat hagler or monzon.. Prime hagler and monzon beat fullmer, Lamotta, basilio, etc.. I realize Ray was past his prime when he reigned at middleweight, I just can't put him at #1.. I think hagler, monzon, greb would get the better of Ray, and they are a level above the guys that Ray lost to..
P4p Ray is the greatest, but if singling out just middleweight division, then Ray is behind hagler, monzon, greb

I guess when I pick Robinson I pick him before his retirement and in peak fighting form. I think Jake gives any mw you mention an even chance to lose.
