Too many soft defences. Takes away from his reign.

Lewis
Calzaghe
Eubank
Benn
Sibson
Graham
Watson
Honeyghan
Those are the fighters from that period who i think in their prime were great to very good, well only Lewis arguably great really, but the rest talented champions or contenders.Add in past prime Minter too if he counts.The 80s middles were better than the majority of other Brits since, just having the bad luck to be in a stacked division.
There have been others more successful as far as winning and defending world titles go, but never really impressed me...right place, right time fighters to an extent.hatton is a great example of that imo, i actually prefer Hodkinson to him.Also lots of competent solid pro types without many notable tools at world level that are hard to seperate.
