    Firstly, Johnny Nelson wouldn't even make my top 50 (what the hell are you thinking about?).

    Secondly, none of those six guys you listed should make the top six.

    Ted 'Kid' Lewis, Jimmy Wilde, Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack 'Kid' Berg is the top four, with the likes of Owen Moran, Jim Driscoll, Benny Lynch and Ken Buchanan coming next.
    Im talking fighters in this ERA...not the old ones because they were never that popular and nor was boxing in those days.

      Oh you mean of the last 20 years? Nigel Benn hands down.

      How can you list Johnny Nelson ahead of Lloyd Honeyghan though?

        Oh I thought you are going to vote for Eubank..thats why I put that options, and yes Nelson has far ahead of Calzaghe, maybe u have forgotten Nelson is the only british cruiserweight who defended his titles 15 times, and won against Carl Thompson by a 5th Round TKO
        His championship record is 15-0 (7 KO's)

        What has calzaghe done? Fought a way out of prime Eubank...
        Almost lost to Robin Reid, the same guy Lacy finished in 7 rounds..

          You think Nigel Benn was better than Lennox Lewis?

            Dude, Johnny Nelson is just not in the same class as the likes of Benn, Eubank, Calzaghe, Hatton and Hamed. Those guys are top-class, Nelson is a few classes below that. Nelson isn't really a serious, top boxer, he fights abroad for family holidays and boxing is his job, and his fights are the most boring you could imagine. Carl Thompson is a donkey, he's not very good at all, he's respected for his heart and courage and the way he comes from behind and his big right hand but the guy is a donkey and was stopped prematurely against Nelson. Dude, please, Johnny Nelson? Come on.

              You did'nt answer my original question so ill repeat it.

              What has Calzaghe done that makes him ahead of Nelson?

              Sure he beat a WAY out of his Prime Eubank, and lost to Reid but got the decision.

                Lennox Lewis definatly get's my vote.
                Would it matter if it was all-time? Lewis is a top 5 all-time heavyweight.

                  What do you mean what has Calzaghe done that makes him ahead of Nelson? He's done what he's done, you can't change what he's done. Uhh, watch his fights. Nelson would call you a fool for putting him in the same class as Joe.

                      Maybe you will change your mind after Lacy destroys his career?
