21 defences is good but it took him 10 year over and beating Lacy and Kessler is'nt enough in my book 4th is good

Completely missed the 25.... I know you've already done an exact thread like this one of 25 so figured this was all time.
It could also be the shades I never take them off.

[CutMeMick]

I just checked and you did a similar thread but of the last 10 yrs....
So you've done 10 yrs. and 25 yrs....

What's next a thread about the best Brits of the last 12 and a half yrs?

I think Nigel Benn has to be in the top three, purely and simply because in an era when the Americans thought Brirish fighters were terrible, Benn would take on anybody and win (abroad). If he could have been sharper with his jab I think he would have been unbeatable at the time. My top ten would be:

Lennox Lewis (not entirely British, but all class)
Nigel Benn (strongest will I've ever seen)
Ricky Hatton (special - you'll see)
Joe Calzaghe (still not convinced)
Chris Eubank (even though he's a twat)
Naseem Hamed (could have been higher, but doing a Lucan after Barrera?)
Nicky Piper (know it all cunt)
Duke McKenzie (better than he looks)
Paul Ingle (exciting and sharp)
Clinton Woods (perseverence makes the difference)

Can you spot the odd one out? This has made me think how poor British boxing has been, but it also shows how it is improving as we have so many title holders now. I tried to keep away from working fighters, as they still have much to prove. I think Hatton and Calzaghe have already done enough to be HOF's, however. In place of Piper, I'll have Frankie Gavin.

Top of my list would be Prince Nassem.

I would also have Benn above Eubanks. For me Benn won their second fight he was also the most deverstating puncher of the time.
