    160

    168

    175

    200

    At his very best of course and likewise with the opponents.

    My picks:

    160 - Nobody

    168 - Nobody

    175 - Bob Foster, Michael Spinks, Michael Moorer.

    200 - Evander Holyfield

    That's it. Pretty impressive that those are the only guys I can reasonably pick over him.

    No disrespect, but by picking Hagler I think you are underestimating your favourite fighter a bit. I personally give Hagler little chance because speed offset him greatly, I have never seen a MW quicker than Jones.

    I thought you disagreed with me and suggested Calzaghe would win.

    I'm looking to reduce the logic that stone age fighters have any chance at all vs. a magnificent example like Jones, we can move on from there after the majority have come to the realisation necessary. I don't think that we will get anywhere, but we can try, otherwise, let's not push it.

    You're right, Jones would put Benn to sleep in that time frame.

    Yes, I disagree with that, but I am not going to get into a debate over it at this time, especially since you impress me very much with the majority of your astute outlook.

    Calzaghe would have brutalised him also, tko 10 or so. Benn's style plays right into Joe's.
