    Benn had a far bigger following than Nunn, Collins or Kalambay and was in far better fights.

    Naz, Benn, Eubanks. Calzaghe will definitely get in.

    Eubank crushed his fair share of cans, but also had some big wins. Joe's wins unified fo the first time, he also won the title at 175. I put him above both Benn and Eubank.

    Naz was a great fighter, not as good as Barrera, Morales or JMM, but he unified belts and looked good doing it. He should get in.

    The standards of the IBHOF are not high enough to exclude him.

    Eubank, Benn, Hatton are all worthy......a case can also be made for Hamed

    Hamed, he was massive in his prime. Benn/Eubank would be great to see them in, but I do not see it happening.

    "The crack was that the opponent had to extend me enough for me to display my technical prowess. Take bobbing and weaving - I had no need to bob and weave until I fought the most tightly skilled boxer-punchers: Michael Watson, Malinga, Lindell Holmes, Rocchigiani."
