Ricky Hatton and Tim Bradley get my vote.

It's funny. Up unitl the last six months I thought Bradley was kind of who I was talking about here. But not fighting Khan was weak.

Ricky? I guess he was in shape once he got in the ring, right?

Mickey Ward, was not what you call the greatest but he was adaptable and hardly ever in a dull fight. Arturo Gatti would keep us on the edge of our seats. Ivan Robinson had some good moves and all these guys fought each other too. Those fights were all entertaining.,

here's a controversial one .......

Nikolai Valuev was never a great fighter, he got some opportunities because he was marketed as a bit of a freak show, he may have been given some questionable decisions - but he extraxted everything he could from his limited talent, he was always in as good shape as he could be, he studied the sport, you could see he listened to his trainers, he showed bravery in the ring (as did primo carnera!), he made the most of every opportunity he was ever given.

People who annoy me are those that piss God given talent up the wall and waste their potential (George Best, Scott Harrison etc) I am not a BHOp fan, but that man has drawn every ounce of his talent and maximised it through hard work and professionalism. Respect.
