I cant tell if you are being ironic what with your wit being as sharp as a spoon and all that, but actually Rios coming in way over weight was clearly unfair.

---

Your obviosly a Murray fan then. You must be so proud.

---

Are you Murray? You did well against Rios mate, very brave effort.

---

Cant argue with that. He did do well against Rios. Shame he didnt grow some balls earlier and fight someone of note before he got to his 30th fight. That is the reason im not a fan. He bored me to death before he went against real opponents. The worst one for me was when thaxton lost to a journeyman and he still got a fight against Murray who had 25 fights undefeated at the time. What a joke.

I do like Kevin Mitchell but he done pretty much the same as Murray. A lot of fights against not many good people. I tell you who I am proud of. George groves. only 14 fights and going for a world number 4. He may be going for this a little early. I would have given him around 20 fights before this fight but at least we have a fighter with guts. We need another Froch these days.

This is my reason Calzaghe first he beat ever one he faced, undefeated champion only one we have
had weather you like it or not its a fact.
Buchanan the master boxer a true example of a very gifted fighter, the great Duran did not fancy facing him a second time.
Turpin going over the pond and beating the Man the great Sugar Ray, what a feat,I had to think
long and hard for my top 3.We have produced many great fighters this 3 is just my personal pref rans,
and I hope we produce many more great fighters in the future.;)

Jimmy Wilde
Randolph Turpin
Ken Buchanan

Honorable mentions to Joe Calzaghe & Lennox Lewis.

1.Lennox Lewis
2.Jimmy Wilde
3.Ted Kid Lewis

Justhad a quick look at the link and it was from 5 years ago..

I apologize, but while it is true that the thread and first page were from 5 years ago the four pages after that were from March this year. I can't narrow it down to three, sorry I am no good at these things.
