    Lennox Lewis is the only one that really comes to my mind, but I get a feeling I'm forgetting someone.

    I thought of Calzaghe. I suppose, if you go by the numbers. Surely Lewis is a much bigger name. With tougher opposition over the long haul.

    Not in any order my top 10.

    Lennox Lewis
    Joe Calzaghe
    Jimmy Wilde
    Freddy Welsh
    Jim Driscoll
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Ted Lewis
    Ken Buchanan
    Randy Turpin
    Jack Berg

    Guys like John Conteh, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Lloyd Honeyghan, Naseem Hamed, deserve a mention aswell.

    To me it's Lennox hands down! Then, and this may seem unfair but his one huge achievement surpasses so many other brits great careers, Randy Turpin.

    personnally i think Ken Buchannen is the greatest, Too young to have seen him first hand, but the videos show the quality. Robbed in the duran fight, shame he doesn't have the same class now as he did i the ring.
