    Arthur Beterbiev's thrashing of Tavoris Cloud this weekend was awesome, but which prospect beating a former champ rates highest in history for you?

    Well, as you're clearly counting strap-holders, how about an inexperienced Wills out-classing a still lethal Langford?

    Rigo vs Ramos was disgustingly one sided. As was Rigo vs Nonito actually.

    Ali vs Liston is probably the main case though.

    would al hostek v freddie steele suit here ?
    ...even though steele seemingly carried an injury into the fight.
