    Best fighters is a bit easy and boring I find.

    Not hard to do really.

    I like Dallas I heard he was signing for GBP.

    As for a top 10...

    1. Calzaghe
    2. Hatton
    3. Haye
    4. Froch
    5. Burns
    6. Khan
    7. Woods
    8. Witter
    9. Harrison
    10. Nelson

    Can't think... We've only had like 15 world champions or something since 2000 so it will be predominantly them?

    Froch, Hatton, Calzaghe, Haye, Khan, Woods, Lewis, Burns, Nelson, Williams. Not in any order like and the first 8 are pretty set IMO. I struggled a bit with the last 2 but I couldn't think of anyone better although there arguably is.

    EDIT: Witter obviously, forgot him! Him in for Williams

    Missed Lewis for some reason, the most obvious one out of them all.

    ??

    Burns, Harrison, Witter and a few others surely deserve to be there over those?
