    Julian Jackson was P4P rated and look what Bomber Graham did to him before that one famous shot.. hideous domination playing with him..

    Counts for nothing.

    Herol got laid out like a table-cloth. The end.

    Herol Gee is still bitter about it.

    Imagine if Taylor's fans started harking on about how Jermaine was schooling Froch before the cobra knocked him the **** out? It'd be beyond embarrassing.

    To have Benn and not Eubank seems bizarre and Conteh continues to be underrated on these shores. No idea why. I'm a big fan. Although perhaps it's because he was more of a 70s fighter. 30 years only goes back to 1985 these days!

    This is true.

    Julian Jackson was a lot better pound-for-pound than the likes of Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman though.

    Sounds like Chris Eubank (atberry/Bulldog24) is as well.

    Lennox by a mile, no-one even comes close.

    Glad to see over 50% in the poll agree. No idea what the other 49% are smoking :D

    This. I voted JC but both are head and shoulders above the rest.

    Lewis, by far.

    He was THE UNDISPUTED HW CHAMP OF THE WORLD!

    Eubank? Not even the best MW/SMW/CW in the country!

    Naz? Great talent but as soon as he fought a world class opponent in their prime, he lost.

    Joe? Very overrated. Some really good wins, but RJJ would have hammered him.

    Froch? He's second after Lewis.

    Hatton? Again, overrated. Spent to long "defending" his WBU belt. Stepped up and beat Kosta but done nothing of note after to a prime opponent.

    Lennox, Froch, Naz, Joe, Hatton > Everyone else.

    Calzaghe .

    Lewis 2nd place due to nature of 2 loses. Would not really argue if someone said Lewis was 1st.

    Lewis or Calzaghe, they are the CLEAR 1 and 2 in any order.

    Nobody else is even remotely close.
