Have problem with Lewis because I'm not a big fan of the heavyweights, but I still think he's underrated by some people.
I can see why Benn would be rated above Lloyd. I can see why Lloyd would be rated above Nigel. Honeyghan was the dominant man in his division (for a short while). Benn wasn't. It's a difficult one to decide.
I totally skipped Conteh.
Sorry John. He should be on there. He's a lot better than many I posted.
