    Theres a few ways to interpret this question so for me it has to be Calzaghe at the top really...Just look at how long he's dominated and he just gets better and better and shut EVERY prick up whoever doubted him and the "who he's beat brigade" finally have to bow down and admit the facts or they simply show themselves to be narrow minded fools..... he gets stick from US fans purely because he wipes the floor with the best they can offer time and time again, in his twighlight years and better still in their back yards!
    THE best fighter of my era and his record is untouched by anyone in decades. FACT (deal with it)

    Lennox would be my second just for doing it in the US time and time again and avenging anyone who beat him and was the last true Heavyweight to dominate ... The way he destroyed Tyson was a great moment in my life!

    Nigel Benn simply because he had balls like King Kong and was easily the most exciting fighter to watch to have ever come out of the UK.
    Yeah he lost a few but f*ck me could he tear it up when he was hurt.
    And i will never ever forget that Mclleland fight for being the most brutal i have ever seen.
    How Nigel survived that and came back to smash G-Man to bits just shows what he was all about.
    He had the will and heart of a Lion that man.

    Randy Turpin gets props for beating the greatest ever fighter to have lived bar NONE (true fans will know who) and No it aint Ali..he did get another shot in 1966 but unfortunately with a gun pointed at his own head!

    Don Cockell just for his name also gets props

    Henry Cooper also SHOULD have beaten Clay that night but was blatantly cheated out of it by Ali's bare knuckle glove that tore his face apart.
    How different the Fight game history would have been eh...?

    For me Hatton needs to beat Pac then he leaps up to Lewis status but he's not far behind.
    Just my opinion.
