    'P4P' always makes me chuckle - it's not real. You can only beat the best at your weight, which Honeyghan clearly did.

    It can be argued Robin Reid beat Calzaghe

    Scared the life out of Ad Wolgast and was very unlucky not to win the World Title.

    Honeyghan was not a skilled counter/pressure fight like Tyson, he was more wild.

    Calzaghe improved vastly in the following years, Hopkins would have toyed with Reid.

    Eubank was nowhere near a proven as McCllum and he was out on his feet in his rematch v Watson, it wa an exciting fight though.

    I really don`t rank Honeyghan among the elite fighters of the 80`s.

    Can you please stop trolling? Your posts are completely random. You are obviously doing it purposely to be annoying.

    Jimmy Wilde was the only British Fighter among the original inductees to the Hall of Fame. He dominated the Flyweight division for a decade. He would be my pick.
    Ted " Kid " Lewis won Titles at every weight from Feather to Light Heavy and won and defended the World Welterweight Title in the States.
    Jack " Kid " Berg and Len Harvey are also worth a shout. Of the 3 mentioned in the OP, I would say only Calzaghe is at possibly the same level.
