My Personal top 10 rankings of middleweights, what do you think?

[kendom]

This is just my personal top ten middleweights, I'm leaving off Robinson and Jones as i feel that they were in their prime in other weights, this only includes fighters who were in their prime at middleweight

1) Harry Greb
2) Bob Fitzsimmons
3) Carlos Monzon
4) Charley Burley
5) Stanley Ketchel
6) Marvin Hagler
7) Dick Tiger
8) Bernard Hopkins
9) Jake Lamotta
10) Marcel Cerdan

Theres a couple I would have in different orders and I probably wouldn't include Cerdan in my top 10.

But all in all, excellent list.

THanks LOL What's wrong with Cerdan? who would you replace him with?

Hagler is greater than Ketchel and it's not even debatable in my opinion.

V.Good list apart from that though.

I think Robinson needs to be on there based on his resume and accomplishments at that weight.

Here is my list, which is always subject to change.

1. Monzon
2. Hagler
3. Greb
4. Ketchel
5. Robinson
6. Hopkins
7. Flowers
8. Burley
9. LaMotta
10. Apostoli

Fitzsimmons has no place on your list? I dunno IMO he's an ATG.

I rank based on resume, accomplishment and longevity. I simply don't know enough of Fitz's middleweight comp to feel comfortable ranking him in the top 10. Not saying he wasn't great, but his record is tough to discern at middleweight.

Nice list but no Dick Tiger? You think Hagler could have beaten Greb? and no BOB FITZSIMMONS!!! He was middleweight champ from 1891 to 1897, winning from “Nonpareil” Jack Dempsey he defeated crafty slick Joe Choyinski who would go on to train Jack Johnson and he was never more than a middlewight in his prime.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Cerdan. Cerdan is a great fighter, one of the finest fighters to come out of Europe.

I just personally wouldn't have him in my Top 10 at Middleweight. Middleweight is a very deep division and almost all of us in here would disagre with our choices.



1.Monzon
2.Greb
3.Robinson
4.Hagler
5.Fitzsimmons
6.Ketchel
7.Burley
8.Lamotta
9.Tiger
10.Hopkins

That's my personal list.

I was on the fence with Apostoli, Tiger and Freddie Steele. Middleweight is so deep a number of fighters could be argued for the second half of the top 10.

Like I said to Marchegiano, I just don't have a comfortable enough knowledge of Fitz middleweight comp to rate him here.
