    Pat Barrett - Short career, but very exciting fighter that could be hugely explosive.

    Prince Naseem Hamed - I loved his swagger; brutal punch power & a real crowd pleaser.

    Nigel Benn - A true warrior who never knew when he was beaten, except for his last fight.
    Nigel was everything you want wasn't he?

    He certainly was.

    Benn was a joy to behold as a fight fan.

    I just wish that there were more like him nowadays.

    Billy Hardy who fought a close fight with Orlando Canizales
    Shean Neary because of his war with Andy Holigan
    Nigel Benn for sheer viciousness
    Paul Ingle for heart and determination in beating Junior Jones in New York
    Lloyd Honeyghan for beating the great Curry and defending the undisputed title on a number of occasions.
    Kevin Luishing who dropped Trinidad and fought an epic fight against a local fighter whose name I have forgotten
    Richard Williams who could have been a contender and lost to Martinez before he came famous.
    Ricky Hatton for beating the great Tzsyu and becoming undisputed champ at the weight by not hiding behind Frank Warren's apron unlike Joe Galzaghe.
    Froch for having the mettle to fight Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, and then Johnson, Andre Ward next.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    NOBODY in the US saw the Ragamuffin Man coming. Did the Brits?
