    Scotty Harrison.

    Man, when I was watching Arthur vs Cook I couldnt help but think Scotty would have spanked both of those guys on the same night if he hadnt went insane instead!!!
    People miss naz for his razzamatazz, but I miss Scotty for his no-nonsense brutality.
    The featherweight & super-featherweight divisions are a much poorer place without the teak tough tartan terror, of that there is no doubt. Still ****in kills me what hapened with Scotty:|

    Got to agree with Dunky. I miss Harrison for the shows in Glasgow, was never his biggest fan but i always had some admiration for Harrison

    Lennox Lewis. He would clear up this mess known as the heavyweight division.

    Jimmy Wilde - Would love to have been able to see more of his fights.
    It would also be interesting to see how he would compare to some of the current flyweights.

    Hamed vs Pacquiao
    Hamed vs JM Marquez
    Hamed vs Khan
    Hamed vs Hatton

    I was gonna say Nigel Benn easily as he's my favourite fighter, but then I saw this and thought of some of those fights so now i'm saying Naz :good

    I'd have to go for Naz I reckon.

    Although he would still lose to JMM, PAC and Barrera :good

    Have to agree with those who said Watson, was a better boxer than Benn and Eubank i.m.o

    If I was to bring back any Canadian boxer it would be Lennox Lewis

    Benn. Easily. I'd love to see him fight a prime Joe C and mixing it with Kessler, Pavlik, Taylor. Alot of names for him to put on their behind!
