    axl nose naz was alledgedly offered 1 million to fight scott harrison and refused! how on earth can you say he was better let alone twice as good as scott,yes he was more flamboyant than scott but honest mate scott would have been naz's worst nightmare.

    Surprise surprise - Billly showing bias toward Scottish fighters ;)

    In all seriousness, I'd take Lennox Lewis as #1.

    His credentials are unrivalled.... beat every man he ever faced, avenged all his defeats by stoppage....

    Got out at the right time as well, which counts for a lot, IMO.

    Buchanan would certainly get in the top five.

    Had he stayed out of boxing instead of coming back he'd probably be higher.

    My choice would definitely revolve around those fighters you've mentioned. Very good selection.
