Have to completely disagree on that one, Conteh is probably the most naturally gifted boxer this country has ever produced, watch how he beats the very durable and handy Yaqui Lopez with just one hand. Terrific jab and great counter puncher.

contehs reputation is SAFE - great and great to watch

Id pick Ryan Rhodes / Jamie Moore to beat santos, Javier Castillejo, spinks and maybe ouma or karzamin.

Just to be clear your saying Tony Bellew beats John Conteh?

Edit: Sorry just saw the posts above, I really like Bellew but I'd love to hear your rationale on this one.

You are SERIOUSLY underestimating Daniel Santos, imo.

i know i made a rule in this thread about not including british world champs but (ignoring the belew nonsense) what a good match up CONTEH-CALZAGHE would be...just pondering

Only on their very best day.

Mark Prince beats Jeff Harding.

Kirkland Laing beats De La Hoya.

and of course.....

Tyson Fury beats Jim Braddock

I'm pretty sure even Bellew wouldn't come on here and claim he could have beaten Conteh. I completely agree with Banjo, Conteh is one of the best British fighters of all time. Imagine the fighter he could have been if he stayed injury and party free

Only if he comes through Skelton and Bugner first. Carnera is a stepping stone to Midlenberger and then Vidoz, with Sprott to follow in 2014.

Peter Oboh beats Clinton Woods.

There I said it.

Henry Wharton beats Sven Ottke but gets shafted on points.

Herol Graham beats Marvin Hagler in 1986. (I'll not be back for two months, I'll let this one drop to page 8)

There I said it.

Billy Schwer beats Nate Campbell

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

loved to have been there for bomber grahams tilt at hagler - while at the same time expecting the obvious.

billy schwer/campbell and whartons best chance to win the world crown on the undercard makes this a highly prized ticket

i know braddock was a second rate heavyweight champ but he was campaigning at a higher level than tyson fury and he was quite a tough son of a bitch - i cant see fury winning this one, he doesnt have the skills to do it. but i sense we are going to get close to the well worn thing about old heavies against the new guys

poor old braddock! his awful early 1930's run of bad results makes him look worse than he was. but fair play to anyone who decks joe louis. i take old jimmy over fury..UD 15

No, No and No.

Mark Prince's best day was an honourable defeat against an unmotivated Dariusz Michaelswecki. Other than that he had a life and death struggle with Gale.

DLH might have lost more big ones against prime superstars than he lost, but only twice (and both times involved weight issues) did he lose by more than a round on many peoples card.

Oscar would have had too much hand speed, too much stamina and too much power for Kirkland. Yeah, certainly not an truly all time elite fighter fair enough, but one thing he had over Reberto Duran - consistency in his preperation.

I think you could have found a lesser Welterweight to give to Kirklaind that he would have beaten.

Let see Fury against a decent and motivated European level contender before proclaiming him as any kind of world beater.

Jock McaVoy, Len Harvey, Kevin Finnegan Tony Sibson, Herol Graham, Michael Watson and Howard Eastman all beat Daniel Geale
