Benn is probably my favourite fighter of all time. Hard to rate him 2 in that list though.

 

If we're talking about thekir careers at Super Middle only I'd go:

Calzaghe
Froch
Benn
Collins
Eubank
Reid
Woodhall
Catley
Sutherland

Chris had amazing wins over Watson and Rocchi and was the only man to ever outbox Lindell Holmes. I thought he beat Collins clearly in their first fight.

Nigel was a natural light-middleweight fighting all natural cruiserweights during his WBC reign, apart from Nardiello and Perez. But a slippery bob-and-weave defence became extremely effective.

Steve was actually unimpressive in his four biggest wins, thought Eubank beat him rather clearly, that he fought like the craziest unskilled lunatic in history in the second fight with Eubank, and that Benn's head was completely gone by then just loading swings off-balance..

And as for Joe, we tend to forget he had many poor performances ala Benn against Malinga (Reid- he lost for me, Starie, Salem, Bika). He did beat Brewer, who beat the **** out of Echols (who gave Hopkins hell), though most of his stoppages were suspiciously premature. He did beat the unbeaten Kessler, too.

funny that Calzaghe and Froch are top of the list its a shame they never got the chance to prove it.
