    PERSONALLY MY FAVORITE IS APOSTOLI, AND IM GRAPPLING WITH WHETHER ZALE OR STEELE WAS BETTER H2H THOUGH STEELE WAS GREATER IMO, MORE LONGEVITY AND DOMINANCE VS ZALE'S BETTER RESUME. MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT GRAZIANO WASNT BORN 5 YEARS EARLIER TO CONTEND WITH THESE WARRIORS IN THEIR PRIMES, THOUGH HE WAS CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH AS THEM.

    Steele
    Apostoli/Zale
    Hostak

    I don't have a personal favourite here, but I don't dislike any of them. I'll pick Apostli as he can be involved in much more entertaining Fantasies than Steele can be, who'd be my #2.

    I'd have Steele beating the other 3, Apostoli by a hair, the other 2 comfortably.

    Zale vs Apostoli would be a classic, I'm slightly leaning towards Zale and his precision body punching, slowing Apostoli down to take a decision. Would be a trilogy-worthy style clash.

    Hostak just ain't on that level, loses to all 3 by stoppage.

    I wanna do one of these now:(

    To be fair Hostak gave Zale fits in their 1st fight and stopped a shot Steele very, very quickly

    I agree he's the worst of the bunch but he's still on their level in my eyes

    That's literally exactly what happened when they fought lol, Apostoli made it a close fight but Zale's digs slowed him down enough for a few knockdowns which caused him to take the decision

    If it had been a trilogy I see Apostoli taking 1 of em

    GREATNESS/H2H

    STEELE
    ZALE
    APOSTOLI
    HOSTAK

    MY FAVORITE FIGHT BETWEEN EM IS APOSTOLI VS STEELE 2 I LOVED SEEING APOSTOLI CHASE DOWN THAT MFER AND BREAK HIM BODY HEAD STYLE
