    Should Bruno be there seeing as though he got K.O'd 5 times? 3 were to Tyson x 2 and LL. Both beasts of a man!


    Experts please inform

    Agree Conor Benn Jnr is the greatest we have ever seen since the days of the legend Prince Patel.

    Josh Taylor, Carl Frampton, Scott Harrison must have serious flaws compared to both above having not made your list.

    People like him and Rolly Romero shouldn’t have taken up boxing. They look fragile and look like any random member of the public could smash them to pieces.

    Watching the fight last night, I would need to wear shinpads if Gal Yafai wanted a fight and maybe a couple of kneepads in case he threw an uppercut.

    Proper casuals list

    Having Joshua, Haye, Naz there is a stretch. I wouldn't call them great

    & Conor Benn, Khan and Bruno is completely laughable

    there is an interview with him a year or so ago, he's from a wealthy family it turns out and boxed for a laugh, he came across quite well tbf, absolute whopper with that ring entrance though. It must rankle that he became a meme before memes though!

    Definitely not. Considering how as soon as he stepped up from facing C Class opposition, how easily a Barrera moving up in weight handled him. Imagine what fighters such as Erik Morales would have done to him , had Barrera not forced him into early retirement. Jesus christ, Morales-Hamed would have been an even bigger mismatch than the Barrera fight was! To be a 'great' you have to come back from such an embarrassing one sided loss like that. Barrera made him look like a clown. Naz got a taste of World Class Talent and he retired. I'm guessing you're Yemeni
