    1- Eubank
    2- Calzaghe
    3- Francis
    4- Benn
    5- Collins

    But Watson from the Eubank II fight beats them all, up!

    It was 2012; so yes Groves, revenge over Kessler, Bute and calling it quits.

    Well, South of London, so yes not South London.

    I tried boxing, I suspect I would make Eric Crumble look good; it is not my thing.

    The ol' man was an amateur trainer though in the 70s, 80s and 90s in Reading and then Crawley and Redhill, so South London was very much on his circuit; who do you fight for?

    My dad died a few years ago, he was tall and skinny, grey hair that made him look older than he was. His last fighters were in the mid 90s, but he stayed around the scene for a few years there after.

    It would be Eubank by a landslide if he the 2nd Collins fight didn't happen.. Chris lost every round almost (forget the scorecards)..

    Collins
    Calzaghe
    Eubank
    Benn
    Froch

    Simple.. Joe never had a better win at 168 than Steve over Eubank (2nd fight) and looked like he lost against Robin Reid..!

    Chris had amazing wins against Watson and Rocchigiani and the comebacks against Collins 1st fight (and 2nd round knockdown not awarded) and Benn 2nd fight salvaging a draw.. he beat future/former champs like Malinga and Holmes without extending himself at all (posing made them closer).. power pressure fighters like Thornton, Giminez and Wharton made to look like amateurs..

    But that 2nd Collins win over preretirement Eubank with no controversy was massive, he dominated..
