    LL is in top 3 H2H and should be in any top 5 otherwise.

    Hamed was immensely talented, but left the sport as a result of poor judgment. He got beaten by a very solid good boxer who was physically stronger than Hamed. Hamed shoud never have fought at that weight. I believe he would have remained undefeated if he had not wanted to prove he could beat up bigger guys. Many will disagree - especially on ESB which is Mexican centered - therefore Hamed is underrated.

    Eubank. I understand that his resume is not littered with great wins, but at his best he would put up a competetive fight with ANYONE at 160.

    Pre Watson Eubank was an animal!!!

    Based on what exactly? Him beating Benn AFTER Watson did, or himn getting a gift in the first Watson fight?

    On the contrary... Eubank is the most OVERRATED British boxer. The middleweight greats woulda beaten him handily.

    Would have to be Ken Buchanan. Fought for World titles the hard way - away from home. Also losing his title to possibly the best lightweight of all time.

    Lewis? Are you sure. Hey, I like him as a fighter, but if there has been one boxer who has benefited from the weakness of the heavyweight division, it's been Lennox Lewis. He deserves to be exactly where espn put him in their top heavyweight ranking, number 13.
