    Also, why would anyone hate to admit Haye was number 1 at cruiserweight? He was. I mean I guess he never beat Oneil Bell but hardly anyone else could have been considered number 1 at the weight when he was. Oh wait Mormeck beat Bell a second time, so yeah there is no way to argue otherwise. Haye a heavyweight champion? Only technically and in his own mind.

    Nigel Benn deserves to make this list I think.

    I think James Toney and Roy Jones might have had something to say about that!

    Also, though it pains me to mention him but does no one consider Watt the LW world champ until Arguello beat him??

    Randy Turpin beat the greatest p4p fighter ever.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Nobody really, if anybody at the moment then I'd say Ward obviously. Before that Kessler and before Calzaghe. But Kessler and Ward never had a foothold on the position that can't be disputed. Froch definitely didn't ever.

    It's pretty fucking simple. Froch held the title for three fights (if you want to count the fight with pascal).. 2 of which weren't against anyone in the top 5 of the division, and the third time he was given an absolute gift of a decision. No way he's ever been number 1 in his division.

    Bruno was never the best Heavyweight in the world. At the time he was WBC champ, George Foreman had the lineal title & Riddick Bowe was the only one you could argue was a better HW at that point.

    Carl Froch has never really had a hold on the #1 spot at 168, as at least one of Kessler, Bute & Ward have all been ranked above him whilst he was WBC champ.

    So no Benn or Eubank? No Minter? No Wilde? No Prince Naz?
