    Great to see a Kid Chocolate mention. How'd you feel about his style?

    McGovern was crazy. An unbelievably destructive puncher for the weight, and good skills too by all accounts.

    I thought you meant the 1st Benn fight that was exciting or the second Watson fight, however Eubank was mainly just a boring counter puncher and was more exciting outside the ring than in it, his fights with Thompson was also good and v Calzaghe and the second fight with Collins but that was only because Steve and Joe forcedd Eubank to fight at a faster paced than he usually would.

    Camacho could be very negative in fights after nearly being stopped by Rosario and so could Jone in many of his points wins.

    He never even got a world title shot and was beaten by Lewis before he was a world champ, name one other world class fighter that Mason ever fought. RIP

    Jesus Christ! Ant man, you can pick and point out negative things about any fighter on anyone’s list here but that ain’t the point of this thread. Stop doing that cos being so negative all the time is gonna turn you into the mad hatter even without a hat.

    Let’s just have your12 favourites and be done with.
