10 Most Dangerous Middleweights In Boxing History

I was a sign, I just hit the

dangerous

number one, I went crazy in the marathon of these and welcome back to another top 10 countdown here on Boxing Legends TV, number 34 of a career that has been defined so far by total dominance and absolute power, as we have said. In our previous heavyweight list, if we got 1000 likes on the video, we do a middleweight countdown. Surprisingly, we surpassed 1,000 likes in 12 hours, which is a new record for our channel, so we are happy to present, in our opinion, the

most

dangerous

middleweight. If we ever put on the gloves again, we have to emphasize with you that the criteria for this list is solely due to health care.

Two fighters were together with their punching power. Additionally, many big punchers have fought at middleweight, but then moved up to different weight classes and performed better. They are as fighters as Tommy Hearns Roy Jones Jr. and John Mugabi will not be ranked here today as we feel his

most

dangerous work was in a different weight class, coming in at number 10. We have a slightly controversial choice as the eccentric Chris Eubank senior will be remembered predominantly for his work at the weight super middleweight, but when you look back at his career, it's clear that all of his most explosive knockouts came when he bought in at the 160-pound middleweight limit and had a very short amateur career.

Ewbank took his time learning his craft when he turned professional in 1985. His natural talent allowed him to be cocky by defeating all the national level fighters with E and essentially brought the style and swagger back to

boxing

on mainstream TV in the United States. United Kingdom. November you are mine, you belong to me I am the man after 24 wins in a row, he was now ready to face one of the most murderous middleweight punchers of all time, the dark destroyer Nigel Penn, but we will explain more about him later, it is So attractive it's an exaggeration, you know? and I can't wait to have it.

M was the agent who kept the good stuff hidden after beating Ben. Your Bank made a couple more title defenses before moving up to super middleweight in 1991, winning a title in his first fight and then continued to reign for almost five years taking part in some of the biggest fights in British

boxing

history

. , that's why 500 million people watched the second fighter. Half the mass of M. I was being a warrior. That's what people came to allege. At number nine, we have the only man on the list who regularly gave up twenty or thirty. pounds in weight disadvantages to claim his name to fame Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons is already the 150-pound middleweight champion of the world, he gained enough weight to face the heavyweight fighters of his era ranked is the greatest fighter of all time pound per pound by respected boxing historian Tracy Calais Fitzsimmons was a true pioneer of the sport.

He began his career as a ranked Walter in 1885 fighting in the native nation of Australia, although he was born in England and moved around the age of ten, it wouldn't take him long. Before Bob faced the best fighters of his time, 99% of the time he beat every enemy the next week, what stands out the most about his career is the fact that he was never happy facing the lesser known fighters. of your weight. class, since all the money and glory in the sport was in the heavyweight division at the turn of the century, so Fitzsimmons, who weighed in the 155- to 170-pound range, was consecutively facing guys weighing more than 200 pounds against Miller's end.

In 1882, for example, Bob weighed 160 pounds like his opponent and an incredible 300 pounds, the equivalent of Gennady Golovkin fighting an in-shape Nikolay at today's value. We're not entirely sure if this is a world record, but if someone is beaten, it most likely is. made by Fitzsimmons himself, oh and for the record, Bob Kos enters in the first round, which goes some way to telling you what ferocious power the man had. Major titles were also part of his legacy, as he won almost every title from middleweight to heavyweight. After a 30-year career, he retired in 1914 with a devastating record of 61 wins with seven losses and an incredible 57 of those wins by knockout, coming in at number 8.

We have the nicknamed Mike Tyson of the dark destroyer of the weight division. middleweight, Nigel Benn. Nigel was self-destructive, yes he was combustible, great, did you know that dependency and anger were content to target the warrior undoubtedly one of the fiercest punchers of the last thirty years? Nigel didn't need any warm-up when he turned professional again. 1987, when he destroyed the first 22 opponents with a devastating knockout, a semi-money issue, the most exciting prospect in 3/4 of our behind, as seen at number 10, then he will always be remembered for his two brutal encounters with his bitter rival Chris. eubank, but he had many other legendary encounters in the ring, the first round blow to experienced champion Iran Berkeley is one that comes to mind and of course it was a relentless fight in which Ben faced one of most dangerous fighters of all time and Gerald McClellan and resulted in a traumatic brain injury, but will shed more on that later, similar to Eubank.

Ben did much of his great work in the super middleweight division, but his relentless raw factory power showed at middleweight. That's why we warned him that he saw three right. personally - I personally hate him, I personally hate him - at number seven we have the currently active knockout machine, triple G Cossack assassin Gennady Golovkin, the thirty-fourth in a career that has so far been defined by total dominance and absolute power, now we know. Many of you watching at home would have expected to see Triple G ranked in the top three here, but we generally don't like to rank current wrestlers on these all-time lists, especially considering the fact that Gennady has yet to beat elite opponents, but it's clear we're witnessing something very special here this looks like a fight he doesn't care smart setting a record would you like to dance or would you like well well what do you want to watch I like old school of course it actually has A current knockout streak is 22 in a row over an 8 year period and then most of those fights where you barely lost have terrifying punching power.

Triple G also has one of the toughest Chins to ever grace the 160-pound division without being knocked down or knocked out in a total of 386 fights as either a professional or an amateur. He claims to have discovered how powerful his opponent is after his first few punches and if they don't affect him at all, he often leaves his chin out on purpose for his opponent to hit just to instill fear in Nattie, being the artist, being the artist, he es, I didn't want to finish it and if you look at some of the mistakes, you stuck your head out for Williger, let's attack him, don.

Don't make it a fight, my logic, Noah, I'm sorry, you like 166. Could you please stop? It's not inconceivable that Golovkin cacopoulos like that in the future, but he certainly needs to put some elite guys on that resume and he's making good progress in 2017 as scheduled. To face his toughest test to date against Danny Jacobs on March 18, coming in at number 6, we have arguably the wildest man in and out of the ring of all time. Ah, Carlos Monzón, an incredible fighter by no means the most artistic and moving and truly balanced fighter you have ever seen, but magnificently effective, tall, lean, deep and immensely strong, robust, ranked as the third most powerful middleweight greatest of all time according to the 2001 ring yearbook, behind only two men who were here in the boxing legends ranked at the top. three of all time pound for pound Harry Greb and Sugar Ray Robinson Monzone is without a doubt the greatest Argentine fighter of all time What stands out in Munson's career is the fact that he lost three of his first 20 fights and then surprisingly fell undefeated for the rest of his career for another 85 within that undefeated period, he became WBA and WBC middleweight champion and knocked out almost every man who stepped into the ring against him outside the ring.

Lanza had a cruel and uncontrollable temper and reportedly beat his wife and The members were so depressed that they often needed hospital treatment once his wife separated from him in 1978. Monza found a new lover named Alicia Unions, But the horrible beatings continued and in 1988, after a heated argument, Carlos beat his new wives to death by strangulation. He knocked her unconscious and then threw her from a second-floor balcony, killing her in the process that resulted in an 11-year sentence for the boxing legend. His fiery fury fared well within the range, as many viewers said he seemed nearly unbeatable during his prime years. but unfortunately anger would follow him wherever he went in his life, reaching number five.

We have the one old school fighter that even the most casual of sports fans considers one of the best fighters of all time, if not the best, Sugar Ray Robinson. I wrote a book about boxing one hundred ranked the slightest item number one. I did it from one to nine, but I had to put someone on a two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, Ray Robinson, there's no question in my eyes and I saw him several times. times or anyone who has seen him fight who was, according to the paragraph, the best of all time, we are not sure how much of this legend's career we can share with you in this small segment of the list because we are planning to release a Very detailed video on them in the future, but we will try to highlight some of the factors that make Ray Robinson one of the most dangerous

middleweights

of all time, as the first time he put on the gloves, Robinson would not lose a fight . in his first 125 consecutive fights which included an undefeated amateur career of 85 and Oh with 65 knockout victories and then reached 40 and OH is a professional by losing to Bronx bull Jake LaMotta in 1943, a fight he would later avenge in another fight. five times just to make sure everyone knew it was a fluke of a record forty-one, then he would go on undefeated for another 91 fights in a row, bringing his record to 132 and one, as we always say here at Boxing Legends.

A record means nothing if you don't have bodies on your resume to back it up, so Robinson's case beat almost all the great fighters of his time at welterweight and middleweight and any lucky man who ever saw him in the ring just took it. described as the perfect fighter he was stunning you couldn't be better than Sugar Ray Robinson it's like God said let me create the perfect fighter Robinson retired in 1965 with a record of 173 wins 19 defeats six draws and an incredible 108 knockouts ranking number Four of us have the murderous murderer from Michigan, Stanley Ketchel. Jack Johnson prepared for Stanley Ketchel, the champion outweighs the Challenger at 535 pounds and has a record of 51 wins with four losses and 48 of those wins by knockout tells you right away about the kind of power Ketchel brought.

In the ring he even knocked down the great Jack Johnson while he weighed 35 pounds less than the heavyweight champion Johnson is on the ground. He was a tremendous right hand to the jaw. One of the true characters of boxing. Stanley Ketchel was a fearless man whose personality was perfectly reflected in his dramatic life and savagery in the ring. He is the first two-time middleweight champion to glove Dera. He is also considered possibly the hardest puncher of all middleweight champions and a raw fighter who loves to test an opponent's will. He will define the face of the Michigan Killer for Hall. of fame during his career, some of the greatest

middleweights

and heavyweights in

history

, including NAT Fleischer, the late ring historian and founding editor of Ring Magazine considered Stanley the greatest middleweight in history, ranking the position number 3, we have the man considered by many.

As the toughest one-punch knockout artist of all time, Julianne, the handsome Jack Jackson, has stopped 43 of his 47 opponents for a staggering 92%, no God, 17 consecutive wins, 16 by knockout in overall, 11 kos in the first round. I know it may seem like a rebrand every The fighter on this list is one of the hardest pound-for-pound punchers, but it's actually pretty incredible how many great knockout artists there have been in the 160-pound division when you really break it down and Julian Jackson certainly deserves a spot in the top three because of the sheer menacing force he could generate with one punch, tremendously three big crowds.

Leggett three, we're cheating a little here once again, considering Jackson requires a lot of work as a junior middleweight limit, but he certainly shook enough guys at 160 as well.considering his first three fights were like this or the target here will be put behind them, he was Jackson, he finished his career as world weight champion with a record of 55 wins, 49 knockouts in six losses and all losses by knockout as well. I guess in this case it was kill or be killed pound for pound. Some critics will say you know you're probably one of the hardest punchers in boxing history.

Where did that power come from? It was natural with the training regimen. It's the Fuji way, I mean, where does Howard come from? Well, I think it was natural, you know, and it was something that we molded and shaped by my coach and perfected it and you know it worked out number two. He is without a doubt the strongest and best middleweight of the last thirty years. Wonderful Marvin Hagler Marvin Hagler came out of his corner, he was carrying with him all the frustrations and broken dreams of his entire life and he was going to take it out on someone.

Additionally, a great start to Hagrid's boxing career began as an amateur where he went 52 and 2 with 43 knockouts and that great form carried over to the professional ring where he went undefeated in his first 27 fights. The fear factor began to grow around Hagler like others. The fighters witnessed the supremely well-conditioned warrior destroy all contenders on his way to the title and after a disappointing draw in his first attempt at the middleweight crown, he would surely set the record straight against the WBA and WBC mentor. champion Allen in a second attempt, er, after becoming Lorraine champion for seven more years, beating bitter rivals Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns in the process, then retired with a record of 62 wins, three losses, two draws and 52 victories by knockout, that's what he told you.

A long time ago, that was a great fighter, like I said, not yet, you know, you have to prove yourself, what did I do that tonight? Before we take a look at number one, here are some honorable mentions and number one, we have the middleweight with the most outrageous punches in the world. Have I ever seen the g-man Gerald McClellan the fourth is a miniature Mike Tyson looks at the Utah County man's record the first round I was crazy I just hit the dangerous number one if I was angry at the Paris Opera while an amateur McClellan beat to the sublimely talented Roy Jones Jr. and Golden Gloves national points championships, which we think says a lot about the other skills this guy brought to the table besides his one-punch power as a pro.

The g-man had 34 fights and won a staggering 20 of them by first-round knockout. and that included victories over great fighters like John the Beast Mugabi and Julian Jackson. We'd be pushing the envelope if we said McClellan had as good a CV as the guys under him, but his career was tragically cut short at the age of 27 after suffering a horrendous head injury against Nigel Benn in their brutal fight in 1995 after one minute and 39 seconds of ROM 10, so we turn around, sometimes sit back and wonder how great Jarrell could have been if he had never suffered brain damage.

It is clear to see the hitting power of him. and his outstanding athletic abilities would no doubt have seen him victorious in many more title fights and it is interesting to think what would have happened if you had faced the undefeated Roy Jones in a rematch or other racial fighters such as James Toney or Bernard Hopkins. We would be interested in hearing your opinion. Think about that, so leave your comments below on how you think he would have fared in the clone race and he came out of the turn unscathed. Thanks for watching SCI fans. We hope you enjoyed this video until next time.
