    Either Jimmy Wilde (the guy who made a career fighting LITERALLY average joe's who just came off 12 hour shifts, only 25% of his oppenents had WINNING records)

    or

    Ricky Fatton, because he ONLY lost to the two BEST of this generation (somehow legitimizing his terrible resume consisting of a few shot to **** names, and his utter lack of elite boxing skill)

    Barry McGuigan has got to be up there?

    And one/some of the Watson / Benn / Eubank trilogy?

    It's hard to say.

    Even David Haye has become a darling in the eyes of UK media after being a really cool guy in 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here'..everyone else in the jungle found it to be a very tough time, Haye was the leader of the pack and the most chill.

    In terms of being respected, surely Froch would have to be up there. Love him or hate him, everyone in boxing respects him.
