      No I wouldn't say he was a top 5 WW either, maybe top 10. I am not sure why I mentioned him tbh

      At WW I would put Robinson, Leonard, Armstrong, Walcott, Hearns above him & a few others.

                    My top 3 are pretty much going to be there regardless of the position. 4 through 7 could all be interchangeable, and 8 through 10 could all be reasonably replaced with other fighters in my opinion. Middleweight is just such a deep division it's difficult to nail a list down and keep it that way unless you've studied all the top fighters in depth. In other words....I agree with you.

                      Lol yeah, case and point ive ALREADY just dropped Mickey Walker for Stanley Ketchel....
                      Im happier with that choice i think, Ketchel is better. I think i let my fondness of the Toy Bulldog sneak him ahead...
