    Pacman... I might have explained the p4p thing all wrong, I hope not everyone thought like you did when they read that post or Im ****ed. Haha.

    Simply put, p4p the way I see it is judging how good a fighter looks vs other fighters in their weight class compared to another fighter in theirs, I didnt mean it to sound so wrong.

    On Naz/Lewis... I fully understand that LL was better at the basics of boxing & Naz was more unorthodox (which ultimately led to his downfall vs MAB) but at both of their bests, I thought Hamed was the more effective fighter in his particular weight class, especially 122, he was brilliant, of course I wont argue solidly on Naz/Lewis the way I would say Morales/Lewis but I still thought naseem, DESPITE his lack of basics in boxing was a better ie more effective fighter in his weight class than Lennox was.

    Next time I`ll keep it simple on the p4p **** in case it comes out wrong again.

    Cheers.

    Naz just didn't beat enough (any?) top quality world class boxers to prove he was more effective at his weight. Lewis beat every single top heavyweight of his era, except Bowe who was scared to fight him, and after seeing the Golota fights, I think we can safely assume Lewis would've put him to the sword. Hamed did not beat every single top featherweight of his era, he did not prove himself against the best opposition, so he can't be considered to be that.

    Morales I wouldn't argue with you over though. I have Lewis above him, but Morales is a truly world class top quality fighter with a strong resume and excellent skills, so I respect your opinion on that one.

    Didn't someone work out ESB's top 10 boxers of the last 10 years? What happened to that? I never found out the final order.
