    Get's a bit difficult around the middle, but Witter is a shoo in for last place!

    I know it's all very subjective, but that's about how mine would look, with the exception of Calzaghe, who for me could be just above Eubank, below Hatton or anywhere between the two.


    Haye's HW jaunt probably hurts him, though he was often a cagey counter puncher anyway. However, to be fair to him, he was severely outsized against Wlad and Valuev: against men of his own size, he showed a lot more in the entertainment stakes.

    ive seen a fair bit of benn, but mainly videos appart from vs eubank twice....most of the hatton fights i seen were live and i was pissed and they were very entertaining!!!!...i dare say if it was benn i was watching live and not ricky it would be vice versa.

    it was a close thing tbf, but ricky just edged it due to me seeing a lot of his fights live.

    It's Benn, Naz, and then the rest.

    If we're counting Irish as well, I would say Dave McAuley is right up there. Insane levels of excitement in his fights, would not have wanted to be a fan of his at the time :lol:

    Khan - B (against the right opponent he's great, but the Kotelnik/McCloskey fights were painful)
    Hatton - C (I hate his mauling style)
    Eubank - B (at his best very entertaining, but did stink the joint out sometimes)
    Benn - A (always fun)
    Froch - A (excluding the Dirrell fight which was agonising)
    Calzaghe - B (could be thrilling, but often looked terrible when making the fight)
    Witter - D (abysmal, ugly style)
    Fury - B (ugly to watch, but all-action)
    Haye - C (recent HW fights diminish the overall rating, but an A at CW)
    Naz - B (ugly style, but the power meant all his fights were tense - the Kelley fight is fantastic)
