Also Eubank you have to list, Turpin, a lot of British, Herol Graham, all rank above John Conteh.

So to me, Hamed, Eubank, Buchanan and Herol Graham and Lennox Lewis are above John in terms of talent natural talent. Some of them took great advantage over their talent(Eubank, Lewis, Graham to an extent) while others didn't achieve as high as they could (Hamed). However the level of 'talent" is unquestionable.
Are you seriously going to put Hamed over conteh You must not have watched too much of conteh if you came to that conclusion. Hamed was better when it came to jumping over ropes, flying carpets and harley davidsons, but when it came to fighting he was found out by the first good fighter he fought. Its ok all this posing and shit when you have a 3rd rate fighter who would have to take a flying leap to reach you. Boxing-wise conteh was far better i feel and proved it by mixing with the best. Believe it or not, theres a rumour thats been flying about for years that Ronnie Corbett paid heavies to break Contehs hands for lashing his bit on the side. Ha ha ha! find it hard to believe myself but you dont let the facts get in the way of a story like that.
