    My favourites,

    As a Kid - Eubank, though wasn't the same after Watson fight. Loved his swagger, his courage, his skills and he had a great chin, and he came out to Simply the Best

    Young Adult - Scott Harrison as you would have all guessed lol. He was the fighter that made me a fanatical boxing fan, his work rate, passion, skills (underrated), his foot work was as good as any British fighter (not in a bouncy show off way, but in the way he could move his feet a few inches and trap an opponent).

    Pacman - up there with the all time greats of our sport, at his best did he have a weakness?

    Calzaghe - Speed of a top featherweight, excellent power when younger, great reflexes, boxing brain, footwork, great styles, could mix it up and adapt to opponents, hence why he has an 0 at the end of his record. Some engine too.

    Now - Harrison/Pac when they fight, Froch, heart of lion, beautiful jab, great boxing brain, power and what an engine

    GGG - Looks near faultless so far, not the hardest to hit, only slight fault, but look at Geale hit him full on in the chin and in same movement GGG finished him in effect, unbelievable power and timing

    ALL Time Great - Hard one but at his best Sugar Ray Robinson looked the prefect fighter, unbelievable balance, timing, speed and power, and an a great engine. Never seen bunches of punches thrown with such accuracy in my life. If he fought now, had a 40-50 fight career with all the advantages of technology would have struggled to lose a round in his career let alone a fight !
