Naseem Hamed. No way back for him

Lewis too big for Jones, even when he still had something left

I really like the quotes of the year section. I do REALLY hate Steve Bunce's column though.

I'M pulling for Kessler.
Not a Calzaghe fan. Never have been.
All those defences and barely a decent name among them.
At least Kessler is willing to travel too.

I'm not a massive Froch fan and i'd like to see Reid win...but i don't think he will. It's too late in his career. I reckon Froch in 10

Golota - Tyson was pretty bad

Istill thought Jones looked excellent vs Woods, who has gone on to prove hmself a very good fighter.
But, even then, i think he was probably past his peak (prob around '94 - 2000) but he was so far ahead of the pack even when he wasn't in his prime he was still good enough to outclass Woods and Ruiz.

Calzaghe - Mitchell....That one was just getting interesting

I saw a few of his later fights and it seemed to me he was getting favours from some friendly judges...

I actually think Lewis tends to be under-rated. He made more defenses than Holyfield, Bowe or Tyson and, even though it wasn't a top notch era, he defeated pretty much every name fighter out there. The main knock is that he was KO'd twice. But these were in fights for which he was under-prapared and...

I'd put Naz in there.
He beat some good fighters, brought milion dollar paydays to the featherwieghts and was undisputed for a while.
I think it's easy to knock him because he set himself such high standards which he ultimately failed to live up to.
Remeber, the Barrera fight wasn't a washout

Calzaghe on points, close but fairly clear

At least he's getting a shot at one of the weaker champs.
I'd hate to see him in against Klitschko.

That's very sad.
I just hope he can get himself better.

Good link. Cheers.
Cracking body shot.

I'd like to see him vs Cotto, and Witter, just because I think he should have cleaned up domestically by now.
As for the last fight, I'd like to see Mayweather but I don't think Hatton is in his plans. How about Shane Mosley?

A peak Naz would have made a great fight. I might lean toward him circa 1995. Anything afterwards you have to go Pacqiauo

I do like Eubank, but I don't agree you HAVE to lose in order to prove you are great. Though I do agree Calzaghe isn't great. He has only ever fought one or two decent fighters. Too many easy touches, whether that is his fault for picking and choosing or just bad luck that he campaigned in a weak di...

Awesome fight that. One of the best in Britain for years.

I think even if Hatton loses he still has a couple of good options for big money and potentially winnable fights. It won't be over for him though I do pick him over Castillo (just).

I'd pay to see Hide fight again, if only to watch him get sparked by the first vaguely decent puncher he comes up against.

Hatton in a close, gruelling points win
Witter befuddles Harris to win in 10 or 11
Mac wins against a past it braithwaite. I still don't rate him though

I have a soft spot for Naz. He got me following boxing in the late 90s. I think he WAS a special talent but peaked very quickly. I think we'd seen the best of him before he even went to the states. Basically the wheels had come off and before Barrera he had been winning on power and unorthodox punch...

Fair play to Collins for having the balls to say that. I do agree about him still not having faught anyone though not sure Collins would have been the man to beat him

Yeah I remember watching this when it was on tv the first time.
It's hard to pick a 'worst' moment out of all the cring-worthy ones but for me, I think it has to be the cam-corder filmed sparring session.
What can you say? The signs were there...
