    1 being best legacy, 5 being lowest rank these 5 in order where u see them in 10 years time, heres mine...

    1. Joe Calzaghe
    2. Ricky Hatton
    3. Amir Khan
    4. David Haye
    5. Carl Froch.

    Can see Froch getting past johnson then boxed into retirement by Andre Ward. David Haye retires as a champ not having unified heavyweight by losing to a klitschko then winning a vacant title after they retire. Khan wins another world title at welterweight only losing it again to mayweather then loses in a fight with Bradley.

    I don't mean to alarm you, but your missing the best current British fighter on that list.

    Anyway mine would go like this:

    1. Dereck Chisora

    2. Amir Khan

    3. Joe Calzaghe

    Then basically everyone else.

    1 Calzaghe... 2 Froch... 3 Khan... 4 Hatton.. 5 Haye...

    Hatton was overrated... Haye is overtalkative... Khan will eventually lose and Froch's faced better comp so I think Froch takes it over him. Calzaghe def. would win this...

    hatton is miles ahead of calzaghe.....in 10 years i think it will be hatton, khan, froch/haye, calzaghe. in terms of resume. although it all depends what haye and khan do in future, cant see froch doing a great deal. Haye or khan could go top for me, most likely khan

    1. Slappy - I hate to admit this
    2. Froch - whom I actually respect, unlike Slappy
    3. Hatton - sometimes the more likable guy is rememberd a little bit better
    4. Kahn - so many people waiting for him to fail will remember his failures first
    5. Haye - drags down even this list of over-hyped Euros

    Calzaghe, Khan, Haye, Hatton,

    Khan to become p4p top 3 in his career and Haye to beat the Klits and become the real champ in 2 divisons.

    Froch could be bigger than Hatton if he wins the super 6, beats Bute and then fights Pascal again for the LHW title.

    But to be honest, I don't think Froch has much left in the tank - I worry his best is behind him.

    10 years .....

    1 Khan- young, dedicated, super talented with a good trainer. Lots of talent in or at weight class makes for a lot of big fights IF he stays on top.

    2 Calzaghe- possibly had the talent to be great, but IMO not the resume nor the will to use that talent against the best. Still, his record and defenses land him here.

    3 Froch- underrated warrior. What he lacks in talent he makes up for in self belief and guts. Needs a few more scalps and would claim #2 spot.

    4 Hatton - would love to move this sentimental favorite higher, but can't. Dared to test himself against the best and will always have respect for that.

    5 Haye- did good things at CW, leaves much to be desired at HW. if he doesn't fight a Klitschko, will be a punchline. If he does, he will likely lose and be forgotten.
