    Nice one.

    Forgot Lewis.

    I reckon my Dad would have something to say on the thread title. He's old, so would probably say a fighter who was around long before me.

    Thanks for the reply....

    ...If you're counting Fitzsimmons, I can't think of anyone with a better argument to be rated higher...insane career, there.

    Whilst I'm not sure he's the best of all time Calzaghe's got to get a mention;

    Over 20 successful defences of his super-middle crown
    Beat god-knows how many world champs
    Never beaten
    Completely individual style
    Put in arguably the best one-sided beatdown of a fight he was hyped to lose (vs. Lacy)

    "The way I was raised by my father we don't call ourselves great, we let others do that."

    Kell Brook being humble about his obvious greatness.

    Calzaghe could have achieved a lot more during his reign for me but has to be up there.
    Ken Buchanan was fabulously talented and was successful at a very competitive time.
    You really can't beat Ted Lewis for my money,titles from feather to middle.
    Plenty others who wouldn't win outright but worth a mention,Winston,Lewis(Lennox) et al
