    Lewis - because he is a legend and a top 3 ATG HW fighter.

    Calzaghe - undefeated champion, who beat some of the best fighters out there, but had a dodgy 3 year spell.

    Hamed - Could have been an ATG, but in my eyes he had more natural ability and talent than 99.98% of all fighters but he quit after he lost one fight.

    Calzaghe because I think he'd beat the others if they were the same size.

    1. Joe Louis
    2. Ali
    3. Lewis

    Ali is only second because of what he contributed to the sport stylistically with his footwork, roperdope and flair 6 hit combo's, i think Lewis would beat Ali.

    Lewis, a truly ATG fighter. Most dominant, most technically sound, huge puncher, could fight in a number of different styles, and, when on fire, the best jab the heavy scene has had (come on holmes huggers...), and arguably had a signature win in the very last fight of his career, when clearly a very worn out fighter. also, and this is often forgotten, a lot of his fights were very, very good to watch.

    Naz then edges Calzaghe for me, due to his five year dominance of a very solid division. However, I can appreciate argument for Calzaghe there, as I think Lacy and Kessler fights showed what ability he had, and the defeat of BHop gives his cv a big name who wasn't completely shot.

    Calzaghe. They both have great wins and some close fights but Calzaghe doesn't have the KO losses.
