    who was the most talented 1, IMO in terms of talent and skill IMHO i'd go for john conteh and michael watson, Lewis was great but he wasnt as technically sound as conteh and watson,

    Rooq: :rofl

    Though he's fairly light skinned in comparison to say, Benn or Eubank (which, as we know is important when judging a fighter) I have to go with Conteh.

    Alongside Ken Buchanan, the most skilled British fighter I have ever seen.

    Eubank was very, very slick though.

    Watson was abit stiff and awkward but really smooth and crisp with it, countering in combinations from high cupped gloves - could be beautiful.
