    Eubank looked sensational at cruiserweight and had the best lateral movement in the game. However, he lacked the steroids required to pack on the lean muscle mass for heavyweight.

    You have to look at where some of these fighters were in their careers when beaten, if these people have been proven cheats and when the lower weight fighters came up in weight.

    So with that its very difficult for me to praise cheating

    1. Calzaghe (I suppose you put Sheika on Calzaghes list because at the time he was a top 10 SMW coming off a win over prime G Johnson, but Veit, Brewer, Mkertchyan and Jones were all better and did more in respective divisions they were beaten in)
    2. Eubank
    3. Hopkins
    4. Benn (I think Benn would have beaten Hopkins, but put Hopkins above for wins over Tarver, Wright, Pascal
    5. Collins (seems odd putting Collins below Benn and Eubank, but overall I put them above)
    6. Jones, didnt Jones duck prime Calzaghe, Eubank, Benn, Collins?
    Toney

    1) Jones
    2) Hopkins
    3) Toney
    4) Calzaghe
    5) Benn
    6) Eubank
    7) Collins

    Based mainly on wins over quality fighters, success across multiple weight classes and how dominant they were over their opposition.

    Come off it, why doesnt Collins wins against past best benn and eubank have no provisos yet everyone else does? He didnt beat prime benn or eubank, and one of the benn wins was by injury right?

    those who have minor title champs Eubank and Calzaghe at the tops, and Jones/Hopkins/Toney multiple division champs lower...
    I want to know where you buy your hallucinogens. Though its even funnier you try and prove it b, for example, putting **** intercontinental title holder Veit on a pedestal as the greatest ever. Amazing.

    And no theres no way Collins go high up, his career was missing at least one third of its contents because he retired early due to injury. Come on, stop being so messed up by years of unadulterated nuthugging as to miss not just the obvious, but whats right under your nose. YOu know full well that if you trim a third off the end of all these guys they sluimp automatically to the bottom of the list - try to show the forum some respect, if not at least respecting yourself. People read your posts, you know!

    What injury did Collins have that made him retire?
    I remember he was due to come out of retirement but feinted in training and decided not to. But what was this injury that made him retire?

    Would definitely be Hopkins :patsch. Add Calzaghe, Taylor x2, Dawson x2, Jones Jr on top of his already decent resume, puts him well on top.

    So you think in a hypothetical world where Hopkins somehow didnt hold all night, outlanded Calzaghe, didnt drop to the floor and moan to the ref and got a decision. Anyway, you say Jones was shot when Calzaghe beat him, but now its a good win for Hopkins :patsch
