    cotto, destroyed a guy with 90 year old knees who needed major surgery then followed it up by draining a solid middleweight, and then fighting a junior middleweight.

      Monzon for his period of domination and the fact he was a career middleweight. Ray Robinson is the greatest fighter that ever fought at middleweight though.

        Resume-wise, I don't really know. The first name that popped into my head as the greatest MW was Ray Robinson though, and that's judging him as a Middleweight and not the P4P greatest he was.

        But thinking about it made me realise just how much of a deep history the middleweight division has. It has arguably the deepest of them all. Then you look at the state of the division now. Such a crying shame...

          As always....it depends.

          Are we having a tournament? If so, by what era's rules? How many rounds? Are catch weights allowed?

          Or is it about the best resume?

          To me, if we're holding a tournament with 15 rounds, I'd go with Hagler. (Robinson and Monzon are close seconds.)

          If it's about the best resume? Greb, probably...in terms of defeating the best opposition at MW.

            Miguel Cotto made a good business decision, everyone is misdirected and not focusing on what this is all about which is obviously Miguel Cotto.

              Splitting hairs trying to decide between the big 4, Monzon's my favourite though so I'mma vote for him

                Ggg is the best ever. He would KO everyone on that list or win a unanimous decision
