Marvelous is one of my favorites, but those are boxers, not fighters ;)

cung is questionable - though he is a personal favourite on style alone, souza and filho (incredible streak, few quality wins) are borderline/interchangeable with a lombard. up until a fight ago i wouldn't have said rockhold deserved the nod -- him and weidman could still be considered 'growing' talents.
i feel like you should have considered sakuraba (not a strict MW?) and even prime misaki. it's great that you showed bustamante some love - criminally underrated. but it's essentially an opinion piece, and it's well-written. good shit. |

Joe Calzaghe was super middleweight and light heavyweight, though I don't mind lumping super middleweights in with middleweights. He was really good, but Bernard Hopkins is his only particularly impressive victory. I didn't even realize he retired with a 46-0 record, though. Sugar Ray Leonard was mostly a welterweight. He moved up to face Marvin Hagler late in both of their careers. (It was Hagler's last fight.) Sugar Ray Robinson was a bit of everything, so it's hard to discuss him in a single class. I have no problem calling him the greatest ever, though. His fights (that I've seen) were so damn entertaining, too. And he probably did his best work as a middleweight. One guy I forgot is Carlos Monzon. He's a tricky one. He had a lot of questionable draws that may or may not have been given to him to preserve a run of 79 fights without a loss. He also didn't fight great competition for most of his career. But to me, Marvin Hagler was the greatest middleweight ever. Harry Greb was right there.

Definitely the epitome of granite Chinn ed
I'm more of a Tommy hearns guy because of his right hand that harnessed ridiculous power when he could get full leverage w/ it One of the best straight rights I've seen . His left was like antennae Tho .. Klitchsko bros have good ones too Vitali Vladimirs more well rounded

Saku is one of my first ballot HOFers if it were up to me, but he doesn't quite fit in anywhere weight wise. He routinely fought in open weight fights against significantly bigger opponents, usually who were at or around 205. He doesn't show up on any of these articles lol, which I'm sure will draw the ire of commenters, but he also never had any championship wins, and there are 10 LHW's who have 2 or more. but yeah, it is basically an opinion/statistical breakdown piece, so it's meant to be more fun than rigorous analysis.
