    I'd add some fame to Ivan Calderon! I think he is one of, if not the best, in the business and in my opinion isn't even as known as well as he should be in the boxing world!

    I'd have to add ring activity to ALI's exiled years.

    Longevity to Les Darcy's life.

    Granite fists and worthy opponents to Fenech.

    A reasonable Doctor for Harry Greb.

    My favourite upcoming fighter is Nathan Cleverley and I would wish for him to have a wee bit more power to be the complete package.

    Give Hatton a water-tight defence so he doesn't use his face to block shots quite as much . Maybe that would take too much away from his attack though .

    Benn's stamina was only a problem in the early days. I suppose if you mean if he had that ridiculous, all out aggression of the early years combined with good stamina then that would have been some fighter.
    Good example of needing to find a balance actually .

    Pro Tszyu power with amateur Tszyu skill = potentially the best boxer of all time

    no word of a lie, i am on my cardiff maths degree with nathan, spent the last couple of weeks down the libary revising and talking boxing with him, a few more ko's on his record would be nice, but he is still young and his earlier fights he probably didnt have the power as his body was still growing, his recent ko win was an awesome 1 shot ko uppercut, and he said that in the gym he can do that alot, it just never came for him in fights

    im going to see him in swindon on 13th feb, dean francis on the undercard, if they both win should square off later in the year

    Looks like a good prospect.As for the power i think he hits a bit harder than his record so far suggests,lovely uppercut to finish his last fight.

    Hatton to have a defence like Duran
    Duran to have the discipline of Manny

    Agree with the shout about Conteh's discipline too. Same probably for Paul Hodkinson.

    The only extra thing I'd add to Hagler is a rematch with Leonard!

    I would like Lucian Bute to have an inside game. He would become very tough to beat.
