Comments Thread For: Ranking the 10 best junior middleweights in the world

[Eastlos]

Can’t rank Bud no.1 since the WBO has come out and said he ain’t fighting @ 154 lbs again, not to mention he only fought once @ junior middleweight. My #1 unquestionably is Vergil Ortiz the kid has shown his mettle against two prime 154 lbs back to back no doubt he deserving of the Top Spot. My dark horses are Ramos & Conwell both are extremely strong think they give anybody @ 154 a run for the money even Vergil.

Can you believe Breadman rates Conwell over Ortiz ? Based on his bias, I guess.

Anyone who rates Conwell over Ortiz should be taken off life support because they are brain-dead.

Overall I think it is a good list. We can argue about Bud Crawford and individual placements but I believe the right people are on it and in a fairly decent order. The fight to make is Ortiz vs Murtazaliev to determine the real king of this division, as Bud is already gone to the greener pastures.

Ortiz beats Murta easier than Madrimov and Bohachuk. Murta lacks skills,fundamentals, and speed. He does have a good size and decent power.

Would like the source but more importantly the context as Breadman is usually very thoughtful and measured in what comes out of his mouth.

It was in response to a question in this past Saturday's mailbag.And of course he's entitled to his opinion but he doesn't give any reasoning.

THE REAL LIST:
1. Jermell Charlo (no one has dethroned the King and taken the crown)
2. Sebastian Fundora (the crowned Prince has earned his shot at the crown)
3. Bakhram Murta (he forced his way to #3 the old fashioned way)
4. Errol Spence jr (his name and body of work alone automatically places him here)
5. KEEF Thurman (proved he's still the same ol' KEEF)
6. Erickson Lubin (should not be regarded as a gatekeeper yet)
7. Jesus Ramos (stealthily moving his way to the top)
8. Tim Tszyu (don't count this guy out yet he can still fight)
9. Virgil Ortiz jr (GBP is doing him a disservice by fighting Euros in Saudi)
10. Brian Mendoza (anyone who knocks out the tall guy gets on this list)

DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT
1. Bud Crawford (will retire after the Canelo cashout)
2. Serhii Bohachuk (great fighter but the loss to Virgil **wink wink** hurt his case)
3. Yoenis Telliz (gotta crawl before you walk. give the baby a chance to grow)
4. Zander Zayas (fought absolutely no one on ESPN. He would be the biggest benefactor of a PBC / TR merger)
5. Charles Conwell (hasn't fought anyone of not yet)

FAKE LIST:
1. Israil Madrimov (why the fuq would anyone put him on their list when he's only known for losing to Bud and Virgil. Don't worry next year he will be crowned greatest middleweight ever as Dana White straps the new Hulk Hogan belt around his waist at the TKO championship. HBO is gone so please stop trying to force East Euros on us)

GREAT LIST:
1. Me
2. Al Haymon
3. Tom Brown
4. Stephen Espinoza

HORRIBLE LIST:
1. You
2. DAZN
3. Dana White
4. Eddie *****

SUMMATION:
1. PBC is poised to give us another run at 154 undisputed over the next 2 years
2. That's why they call it "PBC island" because they have everyone and they all fight each other unlike other companies
3. PBC and Top Rank on Amazon Prime is what we need
4. American boxing is the best
5. You suck ballz

Hmm, so Bakhram Murtazaliev is ranked higher than Fundura for beating Fundora's leftovers. Make it make sense please, absurd.

I think it's because he beat Tim in a better fashion than Fundora which is quite obvious and Fundora already got sparked by the guy who lost to Tim, Mendoza.

Damn I'm sorry I totally disrespected Brian Mendoza
