Best Light Middleweight of All Time?

[TheGreatA]

My first reaction was the bodysnatcher Mike McCallum (one of the greatest nicknames ever), but I decided to check boxrec just to get a feel for the names. The all-time rankings there kinda stunned me with a no. 1 I cannot remember. First familiar face comes in at no. 5. The top-20 is here:

1 Sandro Mazzinghi 64 (42) - 3 (1) - 0
1961-1978 orthodox
2 Ralph Dupas 106 (19) - 23 (7) - 6
1950-1966
3 Freddie Little 51 (32) - 6 (1) - 0
1957-1972
4 Bruno Visintin 78 (23) - 9 (1) - 2
1952-1966
5 Wilfred Benitez 53 (31) - 8 (4) - 1
1973-1990 orthodox
6 Terry Norris 47 (31) - 9 (4) - 0
1986-1998 orthodox
7 Maurice Hope 30 (24) - 4 (2) - 1
1973-1982 southpaw
8 Denny Moyer 97 (25) - 38 (7) - 4

20 Bo Hogberg 36 (25) - 6 (3) - 1
1962-1973

McCallum isn't rated among the light middles, but comes in at 25 at 160 lbs, which is quite good considering the long history MW has.

BoxRec.com used to rate Felix Trinidad as the greatest super middleweight of all time.

Their rankings are not valid, it's just a computer point system which works at times but mostly not.

The reason McCallum is not in the list is because boxrec ranks him as a middleweight, not a light middleweight. Another example is Hearns being at WW but nowhere to be seen as a light middleweight or Wilfred Benitez being number 5 at LMW but not rated at all as a LWW.

Yeah, but I kinda thought their ratings was at least indicative of a top-20. It is not as posted above.

Computerized? I wonder how. It needs some re-programming.....
