    Havent seen much of the old time fighters but from my era id be stuck between Eubank and Calzaghe, Probably side with Joe if he can get 2-3 more BIG fights.

    Hatton could overtake the lot though if he finally gets his team in order and gets some of those BIG BIG fights out there.

    Of the British boxers I've watched I'd say:

    1) Chris Eubank - I think the best all round fighter we've produced

    2) Naseem Hamed - Although he could of been number one if he kept up his training.

    3) Lennox Lewis - because of who he has beat

    4) Nigel Benn - Because he was so exciting to watch

    I think Calzaghe will be in there by the time his career has ended

    Agreed - the 'Ghost with a hammer in his hand" was the best fighter to come out of Britain bar none. !!

    There's no question that Eubank could of been the best British boxer ever IMO, but he just wasn't in love with the game (hated it, infact).

    Still the most entertaining of gits though

    Barry Mcguigan and Duke Mckenzie deserve honourable mentions, horrible commentators, but great champions.
