    Collins is criminally underated imho.

    Truthfully, I think these guys are all on a par really so I won't choose a 1 > 4

    not underrating collins here, but unfortunately he caught benn and eubank at the right time good fighter though and one tough s.o.b.

    Calzaghe is best of the bunch

    Exactly...I'd have calzaghe edging just ahead of the other three. Bit the other three are inseperable.

    Eubank

    Although I really like Eubank as a boxer I cant understand how so many people are ranking him higher than Benn and Collins, he didnt fight nearly the same caliber of boxers they did. His only really convincing win was against Benn apart from that he won a close fight with Watson and was getting dominated in the second fight until he knocked him out. Benn has a far better resume having beaten some very good Americans, some of them in the US. Collins is criminally underrated in this thread and arguably I should have him above Benn myself but thats where personal preference sets in.

    Does anyone think benn has a case to be bottom? I love Benn but at least one person should have him at the bottom of their list.

    I'm not even certain that any of them come close to Joe IMHO.

    As much as i loved to watch Eubank and Benn, Joe was simply a cut above.
