Chris Eubank is one of the top British fighters IMO, surprised no one mentioned him. I think Herol Graham was really underrated too.
Chris Eubank is in my top ten joint with Nigel Benn and yes Herol was good but failed to win a world title
Well, here's the top 10 that I have just submitted to the BBC website, and ultimately I can't see past Lennox Lewis as the top british fighter.
1. Lennox Lewis
2. Chris Eubank
3. Ricky Hatton
4. Naseem Hamed
5. Henry Cooper
6. Joe Calzaghe
7. Lloyd Honeyghan
8. Alan Minter
9. Colin Jones
10. Nigel Benn
I must admit that my judgement is, as everyone's will be in the boxing that they have seen, so mine is dominated by more recent fighters, but I'll obviously defer my opinion to the guys like scrap who have the greater knowledge on older fighters
Superheavyrun good top ten ;)
Not in order.... a few that spring to mind
Ken Buchanan
Ted Lewis
Lennox Lewis
Joe Calzaghe
Jack Kid Berg
Naseem Hamed
Howard Winstone
Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Ricky Hatton, Barry Mcguigan
Llloyd Honeyghan
Freddie Mills
Randy Turpin
John Conteh
John H Stracey
Britain's best fighter by far was Lennox Lewis.
Probably not quite the best ever but Eubank was always my favourite, him and Benn had some great wars.
Herol Graham was great but did'nt win a world title so i could'nt say him otherwise i would have to say Howard Eastman aswell
kirklaind laing had so much talent. sadly a lot of the time it was wasted.
for sheer perseverance i think dennis andries deserves a mention too
i forgot about Dennis
1. Jimmy Wilde
2. Lennox Lewis
3. Joe Calzaghe
4. Joe Bugner
5. Chris Eubank
6. Nigel Benn
7. Barry Mcguigan
8. Ken Buchanan
9. Ricky Hatton
10. Henry Cooper
Preme no Naseem Hamed why?
'Coz he doesn't belong there? The most overrated over-hyped fraud of his eara.Quote:

CC Preme "The Mighty Atom" definately #1 he was outweighed by 40 lbs. in some of his fights.
he was in full street cloths half the time he weighted in coz he was so light lolQuote:

Mighty atom was a good name, i tend to favour "the ghost with a hammer in his hand" long i know, but boy was he white and boy could he take your fucking head off in a blink of an eye lolQuote:
