Who is the greatest British super-middleweight since the division started ?

oh he definitly changed his personality against the not so great but when he was agaisnt a challenge he wasnt gonna be denied. against thornton for example he won 7 rounds clear then just seemed to say **** it for the last few rounds. his disputed decisions are just becuase he allowed the guy to win the rounds that he was well ahead on.


an example of his passive style to his more agressive former self is against benn in the rematch. when benn started to counter the counterpuncher eubank chased him with serious intent.

 

I have it the other way round.

Benn looked more impressive at 168, had less controversial wins, and I thought he beat Eubank in the fight called a "draw".
His win over McClellan was amazing.

 

Cheers for that fight, never seen that before, they mentioned that is was 1 of Eubank`s best performances in his next fight (ironically his 1st ever defeat to Steve Collins) & Id been wanting to see it ever since.

I liked his jab & the way he unleashed those combos at times, Wharton is 1 tough guy but the skill gap was too much to overcome.

 

Im one of Benn's biggest fans but I've got to go with Calzaghe. I'd love to be a hardcore Calzaghe fan but his record leaves too much to be desired, similar to Eubank. Benn, Eubank, Watson and Calzaghe were all pretty different in style and personality which makes the rivalry between them so interesting. Im gonna take a leap and say if Watson hadnt been injured he'd have become best of the four.

 

as far as HTH JOnes by a long mile then Toney then A faded Hearns against Calzaghe would batle for the bronze, I think id take a fade d hearns ove Calzaghe



Although when it comes to resumes Calzaghe has this

 

Calazghe definitly

but on ability and perforamcne at the weight you could say Watson he looked spectacular against Eubank

 

he was winnign the fight handily though and showed some amazing skills

also the words 'brain bashed' for me are in quite bad taste

 

GPater not being a trying to pee you off but conn was beating louis a loss is a loss .watson was a good fighter but like herol graham was a nearly man at world level

 

Mike was making Eubank look like a twat prior to that bat-out-of-hell shot landing. He was as strong as he'd ever been and was coming into his own by this time. You can bet that had he seen that fight through, he would've been a considerable force to be reckoned with through the following years.

 

Jones beat Toney who was probably no 1 at Super-Middle at that time period, would anyone before or in Super-Middleweight history (1988- ) beat that version of Jones?

Benn would have a chance...and McCllenan.

 

It wasnt the punch though was it? The damage was caused by his head hitting the bottom rope. I certainly wouldnt say Watson should be rated higher than Calzaghe, Benn and Eubank at super-middle as they clearly achieved more but without this terrible stroke of fate he would have been the best, I think we should be allowed to speculate.
