    Think Id have Eubank at 1,Hated him at the time, but now appreciate his amazing talent!

    Also on his day Benn was unbeatable, tough seperating top 3 imo

    You gotta have Eubank and Benn #1 and #2, for the Watson, Rocchigiani and McClellan wins. Then Calzaghe. Then a huge gap, seeing as Watson and Graham hardly fought at the weight.

    Carl Froch would be next. Then a prime Henry Wharton. I thought Woodhall was better than Reid, but Dean Francis was better than both but didn't claim a world title with his career cut through shoulder issues and other stuff.

    Wasn't Piper more of a light-heavy?

    Id swap places with these 2. Reid is ahead of Froch only just. One more big win against maybe AA then i put Carl above him.

    Good shout on Francis, forgot about him.

    I think you have to have Calzaghe #1 IMO.

    Calzaghe was a career 168 fighter, more defences and unified the title.

    He has to be number 1, in fact the Ring have him as their number 1.

    No, they would want a hell of a lot more money for a schedule like that...
