    Just a light hearted joke from all the heated Lewis/Calzaghe debates you've been in. Pretty good arguments too, honestly.

    Tyson - Only prime Tyson could lift this boring heavyweight era out of the tedium it's currently in. The excitement and interest he bought to boxing was incredible. The heavyweight division with Tyson would be the marquee division again. Imagine Tyson vs the Klitschko's, or Haye or the countless contenders who would **** themselves against prime Tyson.

    Hearns - One of my favourite fighters of all time. Would like to see him against Mayweather and Pac and even Sergio Martinez at middle weight.

    Benn - The dark destroyer was a pure fighting animal, such ferocity and power. I was too young to appreciate him fully the first time round would love to see him against the likes of Pavlik, Martinez, Chavez Jr, Froch, Ward etc.

    Robinson - The greatest P4P fghter of all time, no other reason than that, says it all.

    Whitaker - Great defensive fighter, I find him fascinating to watch. Would love to see how Mayweather would cope with him.
