I think i'd have it similar to that, Martinez in at 3 though and at 10 perhaps Geale.

This list shows how pathetic MW has been.



6 fights @MW, with a record of 3-2-1. His only notable victory @MW is Tito, a guy who only had 5 bouts @MW.

Give it a year or two and 160 will look very healthy and stronger than it has been for well over a decade with Canelo, Murata, Khytrov, Magomedov, Derevyanchenko, Quigley, possibly Castano, Andrade, etc added to the ranks.

Most of those names aren't even proven at an international level and the ones that are i.e. Canelo, haven't even fought at MW yet. So a lot of this is just theory but you may be right.

What has GGG done to rank above Martinez? Why is Winky above Sturm who is a long reigning champ, which I'm guessing is one of the criteria for you ranking GGG so high.

As usual, I was right.

You had a year and couldn't even come up with a response?

"1. Bernard Hopkins
2. Sergio Martinez
3. Kelly Pavlik
4. Jermain Taylor
5. Felix Sturm
6. Gennady Golovkin
7. Arthur Abraham
8. Daniel Geale
9. Tito Trinidad
10. Oscar DLH"


Martinez at number 2...Ithink GGG would walk through him, put him up against the ropes, wear him down and beat him easily...................

ALso, what about that pirog guy who nearly killed jacobs????

Abraham fought most of his career at middle. He only moved up to super to fight in the super six, never going back down to middle. SO he's technically a super==He would have been much better at middle though, SCARY POWER

A prime Mratinez had some of the best reflexes of nay middleweight, good hit damn hard himself and was very smart. It would clearly be the best opponent GGG ever faced. How's GGG going to cope with a guy constantly on the move and with a good punch output with power?

Could GGG wear Martinez down and in the later rounds lay it on him? Possibly but that's to think a possibility, which should not be the basis for who is better. Martinez simply achieved more, often looked fantastic and beat the better opponents.

GGG certainly has a chance of surpassing him but the middleweight division would have to magically get better.

And do you seriously rank Pirog in a top 10?
