Reid I would say medal winner, wins title at 25 in italy against an italian then taking 3 hard defenses beating warton along the way took calzaghe to his limits and "beating" Sven ottke daylight robbery.
Reid was a better fighter at his best - albeit very inconsistently. Resume is a toss up... It's a good comparison, they are similar in that they only showed their full talents occasionally.
Close but I'll plump for Reid. Witter would overtake him if he wins another world title and defends it a couple of times.
Reid without doubt. Olympic bronze. Won world title in Italy against an Italian. Was unlucky not to get the decision against Calzaghe.(if he had this thread would'nt exist) and the Ottke fight was a ****in blatant stitch up. Reid was frustrating to watch at times but he mixed in better class. Plus he's a top fella and Witter's.......an aquired taste
Burnlet Blue you made sense all the way then until the 'top fella' comment. Ny all acounts i've heard he's a twat !
Always a sound lad when we used to go over to Collyhurst for sparring.I've heard stories but like to take people as i find them.
