    I'd place Calzaghe at the top and Andries at the bottom.. The middle is up for debate.

    I'd have Conteh at the top of the list as far as talent goes. If he'd been less prone to outside ring distractions,he'd have been at the top for a lot longer.

    I think Calzaghe barely edges Conteh as far as talent goes...and definitely outdoes him in accomplishments. I place him alongside LL and Buchanan in as far as the greatest Brit fighters goes.

    One thing: Andries is last or second last on every list.
