    I would have David Tua higher then Grant.

    Others that would make my list would be Howard Davis, Tyrell Biggs and Shea Neary who Europeans now claim was never a hyped fighter:nut

    I would have said Jeff Lacy had Calzaghe not shown his class since...


    Seriously though - Breland?

    Audley has gotta be up there in one sense but he did win the gold , who could have predicted he be so crap in the pros ?

    Lacy same again he did look really good up until he met one of the best of his generation.

    Tua would be mine , all I ever heard was how devestating this guy was , which is all very well but you have to throw and land punches for it to matter !
