    Chris Eubank showed all-time great chin and heart in his last three fights but I'd have Calzaghe, Hamed or Hatton before I'd have Eubank

    And Mike McCallum was at his best over 20 years ago.

        Chris Eubank, Mike McCallum were well past their best by 1996. Ricardo Lopez was still piling on the wins until 2001, so chuck the bloke in. Maybe Winky, Hamed or Calzaghe could stake a claim.

            Calzaghe dodged everyone bar Jeff Lacy, Hamed was a jumped up wanker who fought half a dozen over-the-hill boxers, and then got trashed by MAB. Hatton is only great if he beats Cotto, Castillo ir Mayweather, none of which I can see...

              Up there with Ali and Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran and Ray Robinson and Floyd Mayweather and Rocky Marciano, I see...You are a ****ing joke. Mike McCallum, all-time great. You are a ****ing douche bag. Nothing more, nothing less.

                  maybe winky could state a claim? He has one of the best resumes in the past 10 years to date. I would almost say best.

                    I will do. Just to prove myself wrong. Can't see me coming out with any different conclusions, though....
