The best current middleweights?

Question

When you think of the dominant middle weights these names automatically come to mind

Kelly Pavlik

Winky Wright

Bernard Hopkins

Jermain Taylor

Joe Calzaghe

Me personally i think Winky Wright is the best out of all of them i expect him to come back and clean out the divison

Answer 1

Kelly Pavlik and Arthur Abraham are by far the best two Middleweights in the world at the moment and hopefully we will see a fight between the two to see who is the top fighter at 160. Taylor would probably be ranked about 3rd or 4th at the minute.

Hopkins and Calzaghe are both Light Heavys at the moment so they dont even come into the equation as they will never be middleweights again and Winky has been so inactive that it is hard to rank him at any weight although he is a great boxer.

Answer 2

Winky Wright lost to Bernard Hopkins and had a close draw with Jermaine Taylor whom Kelly Pavlik beat soundly twice. I think he was a solid middleweight but I'd place him about fourth right now and that is excluding Hopkins who is now at light heavyweight and Calzaghe who actually was a super middleweight not middleweight. I'll include Jermaine Taylor since he has just moved up.

1. Kelly Pavlik

2. Arthur Abraham

3. Jermaine Taylor

4. Winky Wright

5. Felix Sturm

6. Sebastian Sylvester

7. Javier Castillejo

8. Amin Asikainen

9. James McGirt Jr

10. Raul Marquez/Marco Antonio Rubio

there isn't a chance Winky will clean out the division because he refuses to take ordinairy fights and passed up a chance at Pavlik because he wanted too much money.

Answer 3

Joe Calzaghe but not a big fan.The main man who you forgot was ARTHUR  ABRANHAM. Just as he does not come from the USA dont mean he is not good a ring is a ring..    Also Winky Wright i have liked him for years as made a name out of the us went around the hard way and never seen no one really do him over Hopkins but he went up to class to make the weight but never had to...Taylor good but thats all Hopkins look at his age but he is good for 43...then Pavlik yes he can hit hard but skill wise he

is not as good as these and jumped up the ranking faster than any boxer in the history in boxing show you how them yanks love there Midddleweight.lol.. No i like him but he beat Taylor thats it. He has not beat no other fighter in the top 10 in his class only Taylor.. So i will like to see some more 1st as to what he can do...

PAVLIK  V  ABRAHAM..... See who is the best big title fight? no what do we get Hopkins..........

ABRAHAM WILL BEAT PAVLIK HE BEAT ALL ROUND HAS MORE THAN PAVLIK.....

Answer 5
