Hopkins.

Without checking boxrec my immediate thoughts are Gatti and Hopkins.

I really enjoy watching Eubank. He would dominate BJS in a rematch, no question.

Both Marquez brothers, Orlando Salido, and Freddie Pendleton as well.

Any Europeans?

Out of the all the 160 fighters, Eubank has the best chance. That said, GGG would dominate him.

Joe Bugner won the WBF title.

Id love a fishing rod if anyone could be kind enough? I'd be eternally grateful!

Henry Armstrong lost his debut.

I thought Bentt was a great shout!
