    Seems like we are obsessed with the middle and super middle divisions.

    Chris Eubank said that Joe would have been up there with himself and Benn throughout their primes (in Joe's book) whilst offering no prediction on the results against each of the big four (Eubank, Watson, Benn & Collins)

    For our American friends, the Julius Francis, Audley Harrison and Danny Williams kudos are all part of a private joke between Brit fight fans, basically taking the **** out of our heavyweight scene!

    I haven't been watching boxing for too long, but I can come up with a top ten of 'recent' fighters (in no particular order):

    Ricky Hatton
    Joe Calzaghe
    Chris Eubank
    Nigel Benn
    Lloyd Honeyghan
    Lennox Lewis
    Ken Buchanan
    Naseem Hamed (grudgingly)
    Clinton Woods
    Barry McGuigan

    Steve Bunce would pick Calzaghe (or Kawasaki as he calls him) to KO a prime Muhammad Ali. Do not take any notice of this clown.
