    I would have guessed Lewis was #1 by default.
    Some people say Wilde and maybe Fitzsimmons should be above Lewis. I'm not sure, it's hard to compare a 1990s heavyweight with a 1920s flyweight.

    Of the past 20 years I'd have Lewis first, Calzaghe second. Benn, Eubank, Hamed after that. Herol Graham was very good as well, but didn't achieve as much. Don't know much about Honeyghan, he had some very good wins as well.

    Yeah, a lot of the time we say stuff like 'War Froch' or 'War Cotto', but with Benn, it really was a war every single time. He had some great fights and always went for the big KO.

      What about Lennox Lewis ?
      Lewis was kinda boring. Hamed and Benn were much more entertaining, therefore they are the true ATGs

        Fitzie is more Kiwi than Limey, no?

        How good was Michael Watson?

          In that case, Naseem is the best.

            Nigel was always me favourite fighter growing up. Got your moneys worth with that fella.
            He'd split the nose of Froch in two.

              Yeah, I think he was only a kid when he went to New Zealand.

              Watson was very good. Out-thought and out-fought Benn, and came very very close to beating Eubank twice. I'm not sure how good he could've been (only 26 when he got hurt), but I think at his best he was probably on a par with any current UK boxer.

              His fight with Benn is worth watching. Benn had knocked out 20 in a row, Watson just kept his composure, kept his defence tight, and then finished Benn once he got tired. Bit of a rope-a-dope.
