top 3 jr middles

[nivek535]

who are your top 3 all time 154 lbers.

[NChristo]

Mike McCallum
Terry Norris
Tommy Hearns

[Ray Corso]

Sugar Ray Robinson--173-19-6
Nino Benvenuti-------82-7-1
Sandro Mazzinghi-----64-3-2nc

Robinson makes 154 easily for atleast 16 out of 25 years of his career.
He fought and beat LaMotta weighing under 154 more than once.
Theres no one better from 47 through 60 than Sugarman!

I think Hearns was at his best weight at 154 but there was no prestige or consistant money at that weight. I like Winky there, and Trinidad and McCallum.
The in between weights don't mean alot to me. They were established for young fighters growing out of weight classes and needing some time to mature into the next class.
Today the in between classes are where some fighters "hide" or just want to collect meaningless belts!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

In terms of titles...

Hearns is the GOAT
then mike mccallum
Then tito or Oscar... They both would have iced terry norris

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I don't put robinson in the discussion, cuz he basically skipped the division and went from welter to middle

[Ray Corso]

Good for you, I put him there because he weighed in at that weight many times. You can't disregard greatness. Well you can but I don't!

[LacedUp]

Tommy Hearns
Terry Norris
Mike McCallum

Or something like that.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Good for you, I put him there because he weighed in at that weight many times. You can't disregard greatness. Well you can but I don't!

Well I clearly said mine were based on titles.. I got no problem with robinson, but it would be like putting duran on the list for guys at 140..

[Scott9945]

Well I clearly said mine were based on titles.. I got no problem with robinson, but it would be like putting duran on the list for guys at 140..

Or for that matter, putting Dempsey, Marciano, etc. as cruiserweights.

[Ray Corso]

If you think that Duran or Dempsey or Marciano's skill level matches Robinsons
then I might agree. However Robinson in my opinion is the greatest boxer of all time. I can see your examples all loosing at their best against all time bests. I don't see that with Robinson at 154!!
