    Haven't seen any Robin Reid so I'll leave him off

    Stopped by the rest, probably while up on points

    Reid wasn't to bad but in an Era of maybe just Two belts he'd probably be just a contender at best. I'd say sugar out points him.
    This version of Ray, not sure where to put him tbh. Getting to the back end of his career, struggling with Tommy but still enough to scrape a draw. The win over Duran.. Well not sure it even counts as Duran was ancient by then anyway.
    My picks are
    Collins wins by a narrow margin where he literally throws himself at sugar.
    Benn stops him late, with Leonard cut badly and shaken.
    Reid tries his best but loses by decision.
    Eubank Should win but he had trouble with movers and Ray could still do that, so unless Chris really forces it, he'll lose, but who knows with that guy??
    Froch, slightly behind, kos Ray in about 11 rounds.

    its unfair, SRL was way past prime by then.

    You'd need to also pick -

    - 60% robin reid who get koed by froch
    - 60% Collins who was retired
    - 80% Benn who got beat by collins
    - 60% eubank form the wrong divisionwho got beat by calzaghe

    Too small. Apart from Reid he'd beat
