    someone asked me what i would add to john conteh, i guess if he had the discapline/focus and less partying he may have had a longer prime, considering he was never a p4p fighter, just for him to have not had the management and tv disputes, so he could have focused on boxing would probably have been the biggest help

    saying that im only 20 so i wouldnt say i have seen much of him, maybe im missing a big flaw of his

    If you give Pernell Whitaker power, he's pretty much unstoppable. Maybe a bit more focus and concentration on the job at hand instead of showboating and making his opponent look foolish, though it is entertaining, it probably cost him the De La Hoya fight because he didn't mount any offense, even though he made De La Hoya look stupid when past his prime.

    Very possible, maybe even top 5.

    Nigel Benn - Eubank's chin, actually forget that why change that? would make his fights a lot less exciting.

    Damn straight. Might make him a better fighter, but I wouldn't change Nigel Benn for the world. Awesome to watch in the ring.
