Boxrec Forum All Time Middleweight Tournament *Round 1 Voting Open*

[oogiebe]

There certainly were a ton of great middleweights!

Yeah, one of the reasons I did this was to learn about a lot I've never looked into. Around Lightweight to Light Heavyweight always seemed to me to be where most of the talent was. A lot of weight jumpers, but there's probably most of the top 10 P4P all time in the tournament, even if a few are a bit on the small side. Greb, Langford, Fitz, and Robinson are all pretty consenus.

Greb is particularly interesting having been the only fighter to defeat Gene Tunney. Tunney won, I believe two rematches.
You could list 200 fighters in this division! I admire your taking this on! It'll be fun!

I'm going to open the next round and close the last one.

Given how much people argue about fantasy fights, I'm amazed how little interest this has gotten.

[jamamb]

maybe too many fighters ppl dont know much about

cyclone johnny thompson for example was born in 1876 and done by 1914 and i cant see any footage of him

im sure it sounds hip to say a 5'4 former lightweight like him clowns ggg, but hard to say with so little and i doubt many ppl really know much about him

Maybe, getting up to 128 wasn't that easy, though you can just skip questions on the poll, and the thread never got much interest. I'm still hoping it'll pick up a bit of steam at some point.
