    How does McGuigan always make these lists? Good fighter but top 20 at best.

    So Hamed jumps in at number 8 when he wasn't in the top 10 two minutes ago. How does that work?

    Benn
    Hatton
    Honeyghan
    Calzaghe
    Turpin
    Mcguigan
    Bruno
    Minter
    Hamed
    Conteh
    Lewis defo gets in there but he's Canadian in my eye's,but then you could argue Mcguigans Irish in which case I'd throw in Eubank.
    All time is a toss up. Benn and Hatton.

    Yeah thats what I did. I didn't want to leave Turpin and Fitzsimmons out and taking stock quickly i moved McGuigan down to 11. My opinion mate thats all. Some may agree some may not ?

    It's hardly an opinion if there's so little thought in it. If you take McGuigan out then Fitz and Turpin move up one, surely? Then, the new entry (Hamed) moves in at #10.

    That why I was thinking: I hope those are his favourites- Hatton "all time contender for #1 spot". :lol:

    Then why isn't McGuigan number 9 then? Your list is a joke because you don't even know what you think, really. Someone points out that McGuigan is undeserved, so based on this, you decide Hamed is better than Fitz and Turpin after all and Barry isn't. :huh


    I'm not bothered by it, it just amuses me. :lol:

    I usually have Fitz top 3 or top 5 based purely on what he achieved in winning the (undisputed in those days) middleweight, heavyweight and light heavyweight titles.
