I’d probably swap Benn and Froch and move Woodhall up a notch.

Nice list though…

Groves and Degale will be gatecrashing this list soon…

Joe Calzaghe is the deserved Number One on this list. However, if Carl Froch wins his next three fights convincingly: (against Kessler, then Bute, then Ward) then in that case, we might have to reassess that.

As for Benn he is too highly ranked and to my mind, Eubank should be ranked above him as he beat him.

Upon that, I also think that Steve Collins should be ranked higher than both of them because he beat them both twice.

Len Harvey, Jock McAvoy, Randy Turpin and Bob Fitzsimmons would be high on the list if 168lbs was one of the historic weight divisions

I think this is a hard weight to only have a top ten? as there are so many good fighters at the weight i think you should change the title to the top 25 lol
