Lennox Lewis
Georges Carpentier... and I'm not just saying that because he's a famous Euro fighter, Carpentier's fights are very interesting to watch, he was a very big puncher
Max Schmeling
Wayne McCullough
Wlad, Mormeck and Kessler are getting there... I suppose I grudgingly like Calzaghe

Well whether he should have lost or not he has exciting fights. You're right about him fading, though. As for Kalambay, yes I think he's considered Italian, I suppose in the same way that Hamed is considered British.
