    Someone needs to put together the big list. This is getting too hard to keep track of.

    George, do you think Arbachakov better than Kovalev?

    Oh absolutely. I think Lebedev may actually be the second greatest from Russia. Or Tszyu.

    I do like Kovalev, and think he's better than Beterbeiv, but I don't think he's quite that level yet.

    I think "the best" is between Krusher and Tszyu. Their opposition and achievments are very comparable

    Well, just based on what they can do in the ring, I'd say it's definitely Arbachakov. I love that guy's technique.

    Tyszu and Kov are both very good, though.
    Good choice.
