    Lol. I went division by division. I really think I got all the worthy candidates. I just know there is one obvious one that will make me look ****** tho. Lol

        Matthysse for sure. Sounds like he's coming back but the fact that he considered retirement makes it even crazier that in today's boxing with so many belts, he might have went his whole career without one.

          lucas mathysse hands down and they made a big mistake of opting out of the IBF championship to save their mandatory right to Garcia's title, It was ******, had Petersen been the lineal champion , mathysee would've been more than a world title holder.

            Your list is pretty spot on.

              Golovkin.

              He didn't win the WBA title, it was handed to him.

              I don't count the Lemieux and the IBF title cuz Lil G, Lara, 155, Ward, 164 and 97k.

              You know what, scratch that. He's not any good let alone the best at something. At ducking, maybe.

              Lil G a bum.

                  They are all good but none of them are the best at their weight class. Years ago I would have voted for Matthysse , I probably misspelled his name, if so I am sorry. Today I think Vanes is fighting the best of the boxers you listed. Lucas didn't look good quitting to Postol.

                    My God, you are really a desperate and pathetic hater. GGG is a WBA, and IBF champion. What in the fuc does Lil Ward and Lil Lara have to do with it??????? GGG has never ducked any middleweight but the best middleweights have consistently ducked him. GGG is considered by most places as the best pound for pound fighter in the world or at least in the top 3. GGG will probably soon be the WBC middleweight champion as well. Get used to it hater. GGG will be the champ and the best and undefeated for years to come and all your b*tching and crying won't change that.

                      Vanes Martiyrosan
                      Diego Chaves

                      Off top these are the only 4 notable fighters I could think of.
                      There are 80 different titles out there. If you have been fighting more than seven years and haven't won a world title, it is because you have fought no one (Keith Thurman) or you are just a mediocre fighter (all the people on the list above).
