    Eubank had some fantastic nights - Watson II, Benn II, Rocchigiani, Wharton, Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe had some fantastic nights - Eubank, Lacy, Kessler.

    Froch has had some fantastic nights - Pascal, Taylor.

    Collins had a fantastic night - Eubank I.

    Reid, flat-footed but solid counter-puncher. Woodhall, neat and high-guarded, no power. Catley, tough infighter but limited.

    Depends what context but I think Nigel Benn and his WBC run.

    Steaming southpaw spoiler Galvano in his backyard in an upset. The Eubank draw/win, of course and, of course the McClellan fight. But also fights like Wharton and Giminez where he shut them out with much-improved boxing, movement and counter-punching.

    Nardiello, another southpaw spoiler and future WBC champ, dealt with despite being shot to bits. Even KD'd Malinga flat with a perfectly-timed overhand right, shot to bits.

    But Eubank II, McClellan. Massive nights against massive fighters in their prime and he won them both against all odds.

    Consider that run wasn't spread over 10 years, it was spread over 2.5 years.

    Collins beat Eubanks and Benn TWICE each yet all the Brits have him below the two beaten Brits!! :lol:

    "Benn and Eubank were over the hill when Collins beat them!" - Bull****!! Eubanks was unbeaten and Collins was older than Benn FFS!
