    Not like any non light / welterweight?

    Quite like Maidana but feel he went a tad OTT last week.
    Not a fan of Anwar at all, H.Khan seems a decent enough prospect to get an English title in the next 12 - 18months other than that though I don't see much TBH.
    Though he sells a lot of ticket's (whether that's off his name though)

    Alexander bores me, Khan is exciting always worry when he gets involved in a war though!
    Porter will never be a world champion again Im afraid.
    Diaz needs to retire, should of done a long time ago...

    Just my opinions by the way, looking at your list it's fair to say you prefer the 'jab and move' type though, I'd imagine you'll like Kid Galahad if that's your style.

    I only really watch Light Welterweight and Welterweight, cause they are the best divisions with lots of americans and mexicans.

    Maidana is a ATG in my eyes, And Alexander beat Maidana easily!

    Julio Diaz still has plenty left, he'd spark Brook out for a start

    Maidana is an all time great? based on what mate? And for what it's worth Alexander beat him A LONG time ago, when neither fighter was the fighter they are today.

    Devon will never get a world title again,just don't see it.

    Diaz doesn't have plenty left, his last 3 or 4 fights show that, thoroughly out boxed in each one (or put away by Thurman) to say he'd put Brook away is a little daft really. Considering he was beat,twice - with no great hardship by Porter,who was later dethroned by Brook himself.

    Maidana's resume is incredible.. Broner, Karass, Lopez, Morales,Ortiz, Corley, Cayo,Petrov
    it speaks for itself

    I think Alexander is A level in terms of skills

    Brook is a bum who struggled with Carson Jones:lol:

    No mate, that resume doesn't speak for itself in terms of being 'an all time great' you've just named at least 5 men who haven't been the best in the world at any time in any weight division. He's good, very good. No denying that, but realistically he's not in the top 10 welterweights of this century - let alone ATG - I'd go as far as saying I could name 15 I'd consider more worthy ATG.

    Erm who has Brook beat to say he'd beat Diaz - Is that a real question? I'm going to say Shawn Porter mate!
