The Top 20 Junior Middleweights of All-Time

[JAB5239]

I would probably agree with Norris and Hearns in the top two spots.

No shout out for McCallum at #1? I think he beats Norris and has better name quality at that weight, and would have been a terrific fight with Hearns who's top names might be more glittery, but not quite as prime. Its arguable, but McCallum HAS to rank right up there in my opinion.

I would too. But Winky should be higher, and WHat the hell mosley have done at SWW better than Trinidad for example. This is a thing a dont get some times. He only beated DLH and Vargas at 154, thats it, but he gest ranked ahead of Trinidad who was 3-0 in that Division and the unified Champ too. Sometimes people get blinded by what fighters have done, during their entire career and not nesecearly, what they done in the division in question

This is my top 10 list
1.Norris
2.Kalule
3.Hearns
4.Wright
5.McCallum
6.Mazzinghi
7.Benvenuti
8.De La hoya
9.Trinidad
10.Jackson

I'd love to have seen Hearns v McCallum at 154.

The Body Snatcher would have taken him to school. Mike frequently got the better of Tommy in the gym, both of them knew who the better fighter was.

With all due respect, what has Wright or Kalule done to be ranked higher than McCallum in your opinion?

There's no blinding. It's math. Again, this is a body of work study. Mosley has faced five people who've held titles in and at 54 (Raul Marquez, DLH, Wright, Vargas, Mayorga). He's gone 4-2, 3 KO and 1 NC and all those fights count; Tito was 3-0 w/ 1 KO and 1 UD and 1 title defense, all of which he got points credit for. If you think Tito was better at 54, I wouldn't argue with you. He just didn't have a long enough stay or enough fights.

Mike McCallum is the greatest 154lb`r in history BAR NONE!

He'd be my choice in a tourney of champions.

McCallum beats Hearns handily. Just like he used to in the gym.

It might be. I think any of them versus Nino would have been great and Norris would be a tough fight for Mike if he moved (Tommy kills Terry).

[S.G.]

Do you not think using a rigid and fixed formula to measure greatness in a sport such as boxing can ultimately never be accurate as a knowledgable person judging things for themselves... There are sooo many things to take into account

I'd be more interested in hearing your actual views and reasoning instead of this tbh.
