Prime Jermain Taylor vs. Gennady Golovkin.

Monzon would son Hagler. FFS hagler struggled with a blown up lightweight and lost to a welterweight. Robinson and Jones crush Hagler aswell.

Hopkins, Pavlik, Winky Wright, Abraham, Taylor. It was much better than it is now.

Hopkins had long moved up before Pavlik was in contention. Winky barely had any MW fights. Remember that for the longest time Sylvester was a top 5 middle, with serious scrubs like Asikainen, Lorenzo, Zbik in the top 10

Pretty big misconception on NSB that Hopkins had a low output. Yeah he does now that he's old, at middleweight in his prime he didn't have a low output. Watch Hopkins vs Glen Johnson, Echols, etc. He's was more of a seek & destroy type fighter back then, as he aged he threw less and became more defensive.

Yeah, that is true. That is why Triple would beat him at that time. He became a much better fighter when he slowed down and started to be more defensive.

Monzon would "son" Hagler??? Based on what? Hagler is the greatest middleweight ever. I wish he and Monzon would've fought, too. Monzon was my boy as well and had a killer jab BUT Hagler was more skilled and more violent. You didn't break Hagler and that would've been his demise. As for Robinson.....Hahahaha! Hagler would KO him. That old school hands down style of fighting would get exposed. He is not the greatest middleweight ever, man. Hagler is.

Amen. The division was weaker then than it is now.

can't see taylor surviving to the end. he may win some of the early rounds but can't see him being able to keep ggg off.

[Joshua Child]

I don't. Hagler is the middleweight G.O.A.T. He would pound both Hopkin's and RJ.

I agree that Haggler is in the top 1-3 all time at MW.

What about guys like Carlos Monzon? SRR at Middle? Ezzard Charles? Then there is the seriously underrated Mike McCallum in the late 80's early 90's. Hell even RJJ and James Tony when he wasn't a fat ass. I don't think that Haggler beats every single one of those guys even thought I'd have him favored against some of them.
