    I got to thinking after Boo Radley's question about the first SMW Champion. And as I've only followed the super middleweight division for a few years, I'm no expert and could use some help. So who are your top 10 SMW's of all time? I'll start it off, although admittedly someone will likely slip my mind and get omitted. FYI, I'm a quasi-hater of Calzaghe in that I think at times he took the path of least resistance, that's why he doesn't wind up at the top of my list, but obviously he'll be at the top of most and I can buy that. Also, one fight does not a career make, so let's keep SRL and Hearns off the list. I'm very curious to see how many people put Markus Beyer on the list.

    1-Roy Jones
    2-Joe Calzaghe
    3-James Toney
    4-Chris Eubank
    5-Steve Collins
    6-Nigel Benn
    7-Chong Pal Park
    8-Sven Ottke
    9-Michael Nunn
    10-Mikkel Kessler (I know this one is looking a bit less impressive every day,but he did some serious work there until he ran into Joe C and his record is still pretty impressive)

    Byron Mitchell and Frankie Liles could probably be at 10 too. And I guess Beyer but man ... I don't like him.
