Post WWII: Sir 'enry over Bomber Bruno, then it might be McGuigan, he was huge in 85/86; Randy Turpin was a big celebrity post Robinson; then probably Naseem.

Regionally Buchanan was massive in Scotland, Benn in London, and today Hatton is huge in Northern England.

Lennox never really caught the imagination of the public. He was respected, but not really liked...

CC for the Lewis comment. He was a brilliant talent but his ego was just horrific, I wonder how his character was outside of the camera.

From what I have seen, he is IMO a soft spoken introvert, who is quite intelligent and witty. But people like that, do not tend to come across well in the public eye.

Bruno is my favourite, met him a few times at West Ham, top bloke!
Benn is quality also.

Bruno, Benn and Eubank by miles. Lennox isn't even close.

Nigel Benn probably had the best fan base.

Benn was the most popular.

So much glitz, glamour and excitement whenever Benn fought. The legend of ITV boxing.

Great nights of boxing with Benn, Collins, Eubank, Watson, an amazing array of British talent at that time. As I have said in another thread this was the time I realised how good this sport is.
