Re: Top 10 super-middleweights of all time
Cant really argue with that list too much, maybe switch a few around depending on your personal preference.

Re: Top 10 super-middleweights of all time
I can't stand Ottke, especially after seeing how Robin Reid got stiffed in their fight. Maybe move Collins ahead of Benn and Eubank, especially after he beat both of them twice.

Re: Top 10 super-middleweights of all time
Can't see what Toney did at 168 that merits 2nd place. He beat DeWitt, who'd lost 7 times, Barkley, who didn't last 3 minutes with Benn, Thorton, who'd lost to Eubank, a completely untested Tim Littles, a weight drained Charles Williams and then lost pretty much every round against Jones.

Great list but as others have said ..........Toney is just a wee bit too high for his work in this particular division and whilst Eubank beat Benn at MW he never faced anyone like the G-Man at SMW or challenged for the title overseas like Nigel did.
I still think that Benn did enough to win their rematch at SMW as well.....but might be a bit biased
Beyer did have a long run with the WBC belt but to be honest he defended it against several fringe guys and sometimes made heavy weather of stuff. Lucas and Green both got a 'German decision' and the average Sanavia upset him too.
