    No Calzaghe, no Eubank and Naz is way too high. I can't see how people can rank Naz so hgihly when he fought for less than half of his potential career.

    I would have Conteh a lot higher as well. I wouldn't really argue with the rest.

      I'd argue with Mcguigan.

      you talk about Naz only fighting at the very top level for half his potential career, well mcguigan fought there about 4 times in all of his.

        The list is 3 years old so that could explain why Calzaghe isn't there.

            You've got a point, I think he get's so much credit for what he did out of the ring. He unified Ireland at a time when the fighting was at it's worst. He was a great champ in this respect.

              Yeh it isn't up to date. £100 per year for a TV licence to the BBC, and they can't update a measley top ten British Boxers post War. What the **** are they doing?
