Also, I said that Pacquiao moved up from Flyweight all the way up to WW something that is also rarely done in the history of boxing, does that mean Pac is top 5-10?
    Top 5-10? WTF are you talking about?

    Am I saying Roy is that high? Pac is top 30-40, Roy is around top 35-50. What's the issue?

      The reason why he isn't ranked in the Top 5 is because he resume does not come close to matching these fighters Middleweight accomplisments.
      Hagler should be #1. He beat Hamshox2.

        Ah, now I know why. The reason why I ranked Hopkins so high is because my list consists of more natural MWs. Also, why doesn't Hopkins resume even come close to matching Hagler?

          Oh. Who's the guy that said Roy was in between top 30? Wasn't it you? Lol, how embarrassing for me. I apologize.

            Hagler beat Mugabi, Hamshox2, Duran and Hearns. All better fighters than who Hopkins beat bar Tito.

              Yeah but lets not forget Duran and Hearns were smaller men...

                If a fighter fights at Middleweight and accomplishes alot at Middleweight then that's good enough for me to rank them at Middleweight.

                I mean, Holyfield is always ranked at HW, regarldess to being a natural Crusierweight.

                Because, Hagler fought more Top competition in a better era than Hopkins MW era and quite clearly has the stornger resume at MW.

                  All due respect.

                  Pretty difficult to call out someone for that whilst defending Bernard Hopkins.

                    Duran beat Barkley who was the size of a light hevayweight. You should watch that fight, the combo for the KD is brilliant. Hearns went up to LHW and beat Hill and would have ruled MW if not for Hagler.

                      Oh I know, I didn't say Hopkins defining fights weren't against smaller men.
