    #1 McMillan
    #2 Watson
    #3 Hamed
    #4 Eubank
    #5 Calzaghe
    #6 Lennox
    #7 Benn
    #8 Hatton
    #9 Khan
    #10 Haye or Froch (close)

    Raggamuffin peaked in the mid-80s. Steve Robinson and Paul Hodkinson are big candidates, especially Hoko, and I suppose Duke for the win over that Kronk guy (Canizales?).

    Colin McMillan before you shoot me down, had the most talent and aesthetic ability for me and in 1991/92 it looked like he would go on and beat everyone.

    Herol had his moments in the 90s (Jackson/Brewer pre-KO's, Johnson, Paz). But like Ragga, he was at his best in the mid-80s. As did the other Bomber, Bruno, have his momements (Lennox pre-KO, McCall).

    Have you been drinking heavily tonight?

    Honey was past his best.

    And Froch above Hamed? Oh dear. Different leagues entirely.

    I think ahead or level with Hatton, but should not be ahead of Hamed
