good point on Eubank. I put Benn in because of his better competition but in terms of talent and obviously head to head, Eubanks shades him
In terms of pure talent naz might actually be the number one but him being a tosser, being lazy and giving up before he could use his full talent knock him down on any relaistic list.
The Kessler win was way better, In his prime holding two titles. Tsyzu had one win In two years before Hatton and was a tad overrated and not much of an active fighter. Too many once a year fights Tszyu had. Plus Calzaghe clearly outboxed his best opponents while Hatton badly struggled. The Lacy win was better too but only because of how Insane Calzaghe was. Hatton shouldn't of struggled with Tszyu but did.
Lennox Lewis was the UNDISPUTED Heavyweight Champion, one of only two men in the history of the Heavyweight division to beat everyman he ever faced (Marciano was undefeated, Lewis avenged both of his knockout defeats by knocking out his opponent). JC dominated a worse division than Lewis, and it took him 9 years of holding the meaningless WBO belt before he ever stepped up to fight another titlist (Lacy). There is no contest. The resumes are no contest.
Benn or Eubank arn't close. Wildes career is shrouded in folklore and I suspect he may be getting overrated. Kid Lewis is a very good shout though.
Putting Kessler above Tszyu is silly talk. IF Hatton fights who he looks like fighting before he retires his resume will better then Calzaghes, live with it.
Who had Kessler beat before and who has he beat since? Nobody. Kostya Tszyu was P4P#3, Kessler's not on his level. Hatton has fought a P4P#1, P4P#3 and P4P#10 in Mayweather, Tszyu and Castillo respectively. Calzaghe just struggled against a 43 year old and has struggled in the past against poor fighters when his head wasn't straight. You also have to factor in that Hatton has fought quite a few times in America, which boosts his resume. By the time Hatton retires, I have no doubt his resume will be better than Joe's.....unless Joe goes on to fight at least two more times.
Lewis was a million miles more impressive against Klitschko than Calslappy was against old man Hopkins. VITLAY was prime and Lewis just beat the **** out of him, **** the scorecards look at the faces. Lennox is the best British fighter ever, and it's not even close.
More talented than Lewis? Get the **** out of here man :rofl He's not even more talented than Herol Graham for Gods sake.
