I haven't seen enough of Monzon or Greb, so my vote goes to Hagler.

Hagler, closely followed by Monzon.

Stanley Ketchel was supposed to be very good

Hagler and i can't see how anyone would say otherwise. The man did not have the press the way stars like Leonard did, he had to fight his way to the top. Matter of fact, i think that he had over 50 fights before he was finally able to get a title shot. He was also the most tecnically sound middleweight as well. He was a southpaw, decent power, good speed, switched from orthodox back to southpaw, and could adjust to almost any style. He didn't have one punch power, but he was the type of fighter that would wear his opponents down and stop him late

I was going to put Stanley in but didnt think anyone would mention him.

He also floored Jack Johnsen at heavyweight.

Hagler and B-Hop both fought small men so their out. Harry Greb was by far the superior middleweight, this is just another easy poll that some seem to get wrong, for what ever reason.

here are some monzon bits:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ2B0...eature=related this one shows him in a better light. Accurate but maybe too slow against Robinson and Hagler would have stood and out traded him. IMO

Are robots eligible? If so Hagler for me.
