    I picked Wilde, he ranks among the all time greats of world boxing, not just Wales. Though I expect most to select Joe

    I couldnt really give an honest assessment of fighters I was not watching whilst their careers were happening and can only go with what I have watched personally. With that it would be -

    Calzaghe
    Cleverly
    Maccarinelli
    Reese

    Is how it comes to mind at first thought

    From what Ive read Wilde by an easy Margin. Calzaghe ruled at a softer time.

    Wilde. Many say he's the best flyweight of all time. A true pound for pound puncher, and smooth operator.
