    I have only watched Benn/Eubank II once and i scored it by one point for Eubank but that was a long time ago and i remember saying i could have gave it to Benn just as easily as well.

    I'm going to have to watch that fight again to see clearly who won. If i do add it to Benn's wins then i would have him clearly ahead of Collins.

    Actually it works both ways because i think i remember having Malinga winning the first fight with Benn. So you could possibly take that off from his wins. Either way i would still have Calzaghe ahead of Benn.

    Also I had Hopkins winning both Pascal fights, I had him losing both Taylor fights clearly IMHO, i have watched them many times and i just could not score either one for Hopkins. The Calzaghe fight was a pathetic fight and ****ing horrendously boring i had Calzaghe winning by one point, i didn't really see Hopkins winning but i wouldn't argue with people who say Bernard did win because it was just a ****in terrible fight.

    Steve Collins would be top in that case, regardless of wins because he fought Sumbu Kalambay, who was a better boxer than McCallum, Reggie Johnson and even Nunn or Jones

    Its strange putting Eubank below Benn when he beat him and his 2 wins against Watson beat anything Benn did bar Mclellan but i remember Eubanks **** poor run when he was eeking out contentious decisions against men he should have been beating with ease left a sour and boring taste.Ditto Calzaghes WBO run, should have been fighting better opposition.
    I loved the way Benn dusted himself down after the Watson defeat, went over the Atlantic and beat the **** out of a few yanks to get over it. I also had him winning the second Eubank fight.
    Jones for me should have fought better oppostion but you cant argue with the length of his run and the manner he won in. Collins is a level below all of them despite being a granite chinned celtic warrior.
