    Very tough. Probably have to go with Ricky Hatton. Naseem Hamed is a close second though!

    Just curious I'm guessing you weren't alive when he was boxing?

    No, and that means what?

    I've read both books on him, saw the little film there is of him, read other books about his opponents & peers, saw numerous fight footage of the period, did the who's who 'cross' record checking, and last I had ALL the Ring magazines from those times.

    more than any fan/researcher ever need!

    as I said perhaps the Best Middleweight we've ever produced!

    Fair enough, from my point of view I could never tag someone who I didn't see fight live or was around when fighting as being my favourite boxer. For me in boxing you have to have some emotional tie (non ghey) with them and follow them through the ups and downs of there career in order to "favourite them". Each to there own though.

    Chris Eubank as I loved how he played his role.
