    Benn rules. Super entertaining and, I think, a bit underrated.

    At the time I prefered Eubank, but looking back I admire Benn. He had the heart of a lion. However, at 160 there is only one man. MMH!

    Marvin Hagler, he literally fought his way up from the bottom, fighting everyone

    Roy Jones, P4P while I grew up. When I was in the gym I'd try and copy things I'd seen him do.

    Joe Calzaghe, say what you like, over 100 punches a round speaks to the mans work ethic.

    Bernard Hopkins, just a technical master, even now his skill set is almost unmatched.

    of course Thomas Hearns. But leaving Tommy out of it. Roy Jones, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Iran Barkley, James Toney.

    Hagler and Benn. Two fighters who i followed religiously.
    I love that Benn vid. One of the best tribute vids out there.
    Hearns one of my faves too, but he never stuck around in the middleweights to be a fave here.

    Hagler, Julian Jackson, Hearns, Hopkins, Basillio, Jones, Toney, (do old and kind of fat Duran and Camacho count?). Definitely bias towards 160 instead of 168 there.

    Do you mean 150 + 168 or just the 168 division with that? Just 168 it would be Beyer, Kessler, Jones. Perhaps Froch, start to like him somewhat.

    Hearns, Hagler, Toney, Jackson. I liked Benn, too.

    As a kid I always liked Tony Sibson, too. Shame he couldn't quite cut it at top level.
