    Know the feeling! I was a big Robin Reid fan at the time when Calzaghe beat him, Reid is vastly under-rated on here and was a very capable fighter in his prime. Anyway i've been a big Calzaghe fan since that fight, Mitchell fight was especially impressive for me too with the way he scored the stoppage in the same round he was put down for the first time.

    I reckon, we don't do bad at all.

    But for Legit champs, i'd personally say calzaghe at light heavyweight, and prob hatton at junior welter, we had david haye at cruiser but since he's moved up, can't really count him, and Cook i'm not too sure about?

    Reid def underated, he was classy in the mid 90's, my dad loved him, i reckon he was more well known than calzaghe prior to their fight, just a shame about the malinga fight earlier, still like the guy, ive met him about 3 times, he's a sound bloke full of respect. From what ive gathered though from people who kinda know him, is that he was a bit like Conteh, in that he liked the ladies n partying.

    We have one legit world champ in the form of Nicky Cook (at least for the next 3 weeks) at feather, that is if you consider WBO as legit. Hardly a golden age.
