    I miss those eras when fighters fought the best without excuses and big demands for money, this now cannot be compared to those days...

    Dmitri Pirog - mostly due to the fact his very promising career was cut short.
    Froch - the toughest SOB the British Isles have produced in years
    Frampton - his peak was unfortunately short. With the right team around him as opposed to Barry McPennybags and then MTK I think he could have done more.

    Froch for me. Proper throwback fighter, never shied away from a challenge. Very entertaining fights for the most part.

    Even though Mack was a gimme, it's fully deserved when you look at his opponents.

    Jean Pascal
    Jermain Taylor
    Andre Dirrell
    Mikkel Kessler
    Arthur Abraham
    Glen Johnson
    Andre Ward
    Lucian Bute
    Yusaf Mack
    Mikkel Kessler
    George Groves

    Nigel Benn. First got into boxing watching him fight in the 90s. Never had a dull fight.

    Way too many are missed. I wish we could bring some of them back. What fights we could have!
