    Observations thus far-

    Look at the all time greats in operation in 1993

    Lennox Lewis
    Holyfield
    Holmes
    Czyz???
    Mike McCallum
    Maske????
    Hill????

    Also France have a cracking set of fighters in the top 3 divisions Tafer, Wamba and Tiozza.

    Also note thus far we (the UK) have 2 fighters in the top ten out of a possible 30.

    1993 at Light Heavy, quite easily. Thats a solid list right down to number 7, there are a couple of 160lbers at the end of their careers but I'd still take them over their "opposing" numbers at 6-8.

    You need educating Bobby. Maske and Hill were fabulous fighters. Czyz too is very under-rated.

    Hill was indeed top class.

    But the loss to a faded/shot Hearns does him no favours :yep
