      toney also would have beat cal and collins back then
      1.RJJ
      2.Toney
      3.Benn
      4.Eubank
      5.Calzaghe
      6.Collins

        well to start with some of those fights did happen, but yeah many great fights could have done so bad they never became real, my favorite fighter from that list is nigel benn, he was damn brutal and entretaining and a very very close becasue second RJJ

        But i have to agree that Rj would blow them all, in his prime i dont see anybody getting close to him. Toney vs benn/eubank would have been great. A great defense vs great offensives.

To start of you have nigel benn the dark destroyer who won his first 22 fights by ko and went on to be wbo middleweight champion and wbc super middleweight champion. His best fight was mcclellan as he was expected to be ko'd but won a great fight. Chris Eubank who beat nigel benn for the wbo middleweight championship and also won the wbo super middleweight belt also. He had a great undefeated record and had many championship defences. Steve Collins the first man to beat chris eubank and take his wbo super middleweight championship. He also beat eubank again and beat nigel benn twice. Then you have James Toney a IBF middleweight/super middleweight and cruiserweight champion. who had a great record and had never been ko'd. Roy Jones jnr who has won all belts from middleweight-heavyweight champion. Undefeated in the 90's and was the first man to beat james toney and also beat the likes of hopkins. Then you have Joe Calzaghe the man who won his first title of chris eubank the wbo super middleweight championship. He is still undefeated and has beaten jeff lacy in his best performance and hopkins and is the undisputed super middleweight champion and the ring mag light heavyweight champion. So who would win in there prime against each other on there best day?????????? This is how i see it:
            Benn vs Eubank=Benn SD 12 close fight
            Benn vs Collins=Collins SD 12 close fight
            Collins vs Eubank=Collins SD 12 close fight
            Collins vs Toney=Collins SD 12 close fight
            Collins vs Jones Jnr= Collins SD 12 close fight
            Collins vs Calzaghe= Calzaghe SD 12 close fight
            Calzaghe vs Jones Jnr= Calzaghe UD 12
            Calzaghe vs toney= Calzaghe UD 12
            Calzaghe vs Eubank=Calzaghe UD 12
            Calzaghe vs benn=Calzaghe UD 12
            Benn vs Toney=SD 12 toney
            Benn vs Jones jnr= UD 12 jones jnr
            Eubank vs toney= SD 12 toney
            Eubank vs Jones jnr=UD 12 jones jnr
            so how i rate them is:
            1. Calzaghe
            2. Collins
            3. Jones jnr
            4. toney
            5. Benn
            6. Eubank
            All great fighter and i would of loved to see these matches. The reason why i wouldnt put jones higher was he ducked Benn on his day and ducked collins in his day. which is really saying he was scared to fight them. What do u think?
            Calzaghe upon everyone on the list......u are crazy????, or a welsh fan who started to watch boxing when calz got famous...???

              No im a nigel benn fan. But calzaghe would take them all becoz of his work rate and is still undefeated. Jones was a gud fighter but look alot of the easy fights. He had the chance to face benn and collins but decided against it because he didnt want to take a beating. He prob saw benn mcclellan and said no thanks. The same after he saw collins v eubank. He ducked alot of good fighters he should of fought all these guys but took the easy option. I would of loved to see benn vs toney and benn and benn shut his gob****e mouth up.

                    I think McCallum would be in the top, thought he looked very good even if he probably was a bit past his best in the earlie 90:s. He looked very good when he beat Collins easiley. Looked like the only rounds Collins won was when McCallum needed to rest some.

                    And of cause Hopkins was champion in the 90:s to and would be in the top too.

                      Roy Jones, James Toney and Michael Nunn in that order. Roy in the 90's was unbeaten and pretty much invincible. He was only beat when he became a shot fighter (old). Toney in shape beats everybody at that weight except Jones. He was only beat because of too many hamburgers ( he gained 17 for Jones fight). Nunn was under-rated because of his style, but when fired up could outbox everybody and he had a great upper-cut (a punch you don't see much anymore). I think the last middle-weight champ with no known weaknesses was Marvin Hagler: iron chin, power, combos, technique, intimidation, bald head. yep, Hagler is the man.
