Put these resumes in order: Collins, Benn, Jones, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Toney, Eubank

its not that biased if you look at it carefully.

Collins deserves the bottom rung because he quit boxing early due to a health scare, so his resume is 'incomplete'. He'd be higher if he'd stuck around, possibly.

Calzaghe was famous for fighting WBO SMW bums for a decade, so he needs to be quite low unless you are a nuthugger. Doesnt detract from him being a solid opponent and WBO champ though.

Toney, I disagree with, no way is he top since hes not had the best success despite great opponents.

Eubank and Benn midway are about right.

Cant argue with RJJ top, he did what noone else did.

 

All inclusive.

Toney fought/beat Nunn and McCallum at their best, and Reggie Johnson and Sosa IN THE SAME YEAR! Then Barkley, Littles, Prince Charles Williams, Jirov, etc. He is by far #1.

Collins beat Eubank twice and Benn twice.

Eubank beat Watson twice, Benn, Rocchigiani (who was robbed against Michalczewski and Maske), Lindell Holmes.

Benn beat McClellan, Barkley, DeWitt (who gave Hearns a very narrow fight), Galvano, Nardiello and drew with Eubank.

Jones beat Hopkins, a dead Toney, fat McCallum, past-it Hill and post-retirement Reggie Johnson, (and lost to Griffin and Tarver).

Calzaghe beat reject former champs, a one-dimensional Lacy and one-dimensional Kessler, and pathetic Jones, and Hopkins.

Hopkins beat a blown-up Trinidad, blown-up Oscar, past-it Tarver and past-it Wright.

 

hopkins at the bottom alone means your list is utterly dreadful

Would you care to elaborate?

You can't seriously be suggesting that McCallum, Reggie or even Nunn or Jones were as good a boxer as Sumbu K?

 

Sims, Barkley and DeWitt were Sumbu victims and three of the toughest fighters ever, and we know Sumbu was perhaps the best pure boxer/counter-puncher we've ever seen in the sport. Benn had equal success as Sumbu against these warriors!

McClellan dominated Jones in '88 and was Ring Magazine #1 middleweight ahead of Jones in '94.

Hill - OVER-The-'Hill'
Hopkins - under-the-hill
Reggie - post-retirement (Reggie used to get the better of Jones in sparring in Pensacola in '92)
Tarver - lights out
Harding - nothing special, gave Jones hell
Castro - a poor man's DeWitt
Malinga - nothing special, his guard gave Jones hell
Ruiz - nothing special whatsoever
Toney - completely dead
Griffin - lost his cool and '0'
Tate - nothing special whatsoever, even Julian Jackson outboxed him (before McClellan bombed out Julian)
