The Era after Bernard Hopkins and before GGG/Canelo

Sergio Martinez
Jermian Taylor
Kelly Pavlik
Ronald "Winky" Wright
Arthur Abraham
Paul Williams
Felix Sturm
Edison Miranda
Younger Danny Jacobs
Matthew Macklin
Marrtin Murray


Not terrible. Any HOFmers? Rank em if you can. We all watched this era live I believe?

for me.

1. Jermain Taylor (best resume here, probably a HOFmer)
2. Sergio Martinez
3. Kelly Pavlik
both Pavlik and Martinez are kinda borderline HOFmers.

4. Winky. Great 154. Didn't do as well at 160. Probably should have beaten Taylor tho

5. Arthur Abraham
6. Paul Williams
7. Martin Murray: Underrated imo.
8. Younger Danny Jacobs: did more after 2011
9. Felix Sturm
10. Edison Miranda

I dont Paul Williams ever fought at 160

 

[XThe GreatestX]

I dont Paul Williams ever fought at 160

indeed he did in his loss to sergio. only once tho to be fair

 

[Seano]

Meh, honestly a pretty weak division, especially considering Sergio Martinez was the cream of the crop.

 

[ssx]

I have to agree that the above list is pretty weak. I'd say Sergio or maybe Pavilk is the best of that bunch, but it's close.

At his very very best, Winky was a very unique fighter, I loved watching him fight, even when we was diminished in his later fights he just seemed impossible to KO
