    I guess if we put Dean Francis or David Starie in the 90's 168lb scene they'd perform to a similar level.

    I guess if we put Takaloo, Young Mutley, and Choi Tseveenpurev in a three-way death match, ApatheticLeader would win.

    Ali wasn't very versatile, that's for sure. But he was so good at what he did with his movement, speed and later on ring generalship that it didn't matter how good offensively his opponent was. But when he was forced to be the aggressor against Jimmy Young, well....

    Obviously Ali was a lot better at what he did than Hatton was at his MO.

    Because you've got no argument. But yeah, pretend you're "refusing to dignify" it when really you're stumped if it makes you feel any better.

    Young Ali (think Liston 1) fought completely differently from old Ali (think Foreman). Although Ali did not have the greatest punch variation, he still managed to be successful fighting differently within his career. Hatton would never, ever have been able to beat that calibre of opponent fighting in two different ways, no matter how long his career lasted.

    Yeah, I'm pretty certain they would, as if any performance of Eubank's was so outstanding (Benn I withstanding)

    And Eubank wasn't good at what he did? I guess Eubank just couldn't box in any way, shape or form, right?

    But his weaknesses meant that he was vulnerable to too many fighters doing well against him. He was good at what he did, but not good enough to justify being so one-dimensional.

    Nope.

    Let's see: Watson I.....nothing special, should have lost IMO
    Watson II - outclassed before brain injury.
    Benn II - well that was amazing. Not.
    Sherry, Costa, Schommer, Close x 2.......give me a break.
    Thorton - underwhelming until KO punch

    Logan......oh yes, that was okay! How did Logan fight again? Oh yes, straight ahead brawler. Exactly what Eubank likes.
