      but thats just my opinion.

      to be great you have to be above the majority of your peers whilst sizing up well against history

              Herol 'Bomber' Graham.

              Had all the skills and was the first good fighter to come out of Brendon Ingles gym.

              At the time the low hands, swerve and reflex defence was new to British Boxing, obviously Naseem Hamed brought it forward. Also Clinton Woods, Junior Witter and Johnny Nelson from time to time.

              Graham had all the skill and could punch but his punch resistance was questionable. The most famous of his fights was against Julian Jackson where Graham dominated for four rounds then was famously one punched KO'd!

                They say Charley Burley was the best never to win a title and Sam Langford too, also Harry Willis.

                More modern? Just my opinion here - Ibeabuchi, Katsidis & Jamie Moore
