| We always see these lists for Heavyweight and Light-Heavyweight but hardly ever for the Middleweights.

| Silva, Henderson, and Franklin are top 3. Its just not a very prestigious weight class to this point. Does Bustamante go top 5?

In a boxing ring Silva wouldn't have a prayer. Well MMA is a real mans sport and is closer to a real fight than boxing. 1 on 1 in the street Anderson beats all those guys. |

| Saku was more of a middleweight and beat all the Gracies. He has more wins over larger, more modern opponents than Royce has wins over large opponents.
Sakuraba>Royce | |

Sakuraba>Royce I think Rickson would have had his way with Sakuraba.Not surewhy they didn't fight.Perhaps Rickson was too far up in age. | |
