Benn aside, who has actually seen any of the others fight?


Randolph Turpin, proof that a fluke win can make you an all time great in some peoples eyes...

Turpin beating Robinson wasnt a fluke, He was beating him in the rematch it was only the shit the mob put him through before the second that stressed him which made the difference.

Absolutely right, and the names Turpin and Benn for me stand out in the list. Turpin was an exceptional fighter.

Johnson, Harvey, Gilroy & Turpin all 1st class boxers beat him decisively.
McAvoy & Benn KO him.
Casey is far, far too 'rugged & tough' also beats him, with possible KO.

Daniels, Scott and Leahy shouldn't be considered push overs, however Joe's speed & business should carry Joe to a points win over them.

there could be other middle's in the mix for consideration, but these men were top draw and I would have thought a comment or two before the fight would have been appropriate. Not after!
