"Terrible" Ted Lindsay.

 

[SenzZen]

Mario Roberge was a good one.

[ted2019]

Shayne Corson?

I wouldn't consider 6'1" 202 lbs a middleweight.

 

[ted2019]

"Terrible" Ted Lindsay.

Teddy might be a super welterweight.

 

[seventieslord]

I wouldn't consider 6'1" 202 lbs a middleweight.

I don't think, typically, it's about size. I think it's more about the class of the fighter. Tie Domi was a heavyweight because of who he fought and how he performed against them.

 

[Canadiens1958]

Middleweight in boxing is 160 lbs.

Spin it how you want, he's still not a middleweight.

Is Tie Domi a heavyweight or not?

PJ Stock (5'10, 197)
Terry O'Reilly (6'1, 200)
Stan Johnathan (5'8, 175)
Lyndon Byers (6'1, 200)

In hockey terms (especially of that particular era) O'Reilly was at least a light heavy weight.

Mark Tinordi

 

[BadgerBruce]

Standing about 5’7” and tipping the scales at about 160 (middleweight by definition), Henri Richard was perhaps the toughest pound-for-pound player of his day.
