        Hagler or Monzon. They make the top 2 middleweights.

        Roy Jones didn't do much in the MW division. A green Hopkins was his best win.

        Hopkins beat solid opponents over the years but no great middleweights. He makes top lists but not the number 1 spot because, although his opposition was good, it wasn't great.

        Harry Greb and Ketchel are good choices but there is no footage of them and it's hard to judge unless you know a LOT about boxing and the era's they fought in.

        Robinson's best work was done in the WW division, he did fight some great middleweights but he wasn't at his best there. Very good resume even there though and probably makes top lists, just not the number 1 spot.

          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
          Hagler is a ****ing beast and easily one of my favorite fighters of all time.

                    I grew up in Mass, so I might be a bit bias, but Its Hagler for me.

                    I'd pick Ray Robinson, but his great years were more at welter.
