    You only have weak paper champions like Hatton and Froch.

    hatton beat #2 best pound for pound in the world and beat all comers at 140 then moved up to a weight he had previously performed **** in to fight the best in the world
    froch is yet to be proven
    and both of them would easily blow you away in seconds if you faught them. im not sayin there the best, but they shouldnt be slated especially hatton (he is overrated but hes definitely the best at 140 at least until pac fights ther)

    The standard set by many British boxers of the past was to go and fight a young prime fighter in their own back yard - it's the litmus test, win or lose - don't give the few who didn't do this excuses for their yellow belly ways.

    "Dela Hoya - Mexican"

    De la Hoya is an American fighter. Why do people always clasify him as a Mexican?

    Yes Hatton has been Ring/Linear champion at 140 for the last 4 years but he is a paper champion. Froch beats an unbeaten young fighter for a vacant title and only because Jermain Taylor turned the fight down but he is also not a real world champ.

    At least you could have mentioned someone like Nicky Cook(no offence to him, he's a very good fighter) and said he was a paper champ and then you might have had a stronger argument.

    You aware that RJJ fought at Middleweight during the early Nineties as well? and yes, McCallum is considered by most objective fans to be rated much higher than Eubank and Benn...
