    Give Howard Winstone five fingers on his right hand so he could make a fist and have some power and you have a really top notch all-round fighter.

    Ruddock with the jab. Early on in his career he had a decent one but as soon as he discovered the power he had the jab vanished.

    Is it fair to day that if Alex Stewart had more confidence he would have been a very good HW?

    Miguel Canto - if he had any power, he'd be one of the best p4p ever.
    Jung Koo Chang - bad lifestyle choices...never the same after his comeback.
    Donald Curry - personal life...it's easy to forget now that he was #1 p4p at one point in time.
    Alex Ramos - dedication...lots of talent, but no success.
