Who do you regard as Britian's greatest ever boxer?

Henry Cooper should get a mention,great fighter with grea heart.

He was a good fighter but he didnt achieve a great deal and is only really known for decking Ali then getting stopped. His management actually adimitted that if they saw Sonny Liston theyd cross the road!

Thats hardly in the same league as Ted Lewis moving up to light heavy or even Hatton moving up to take on Floyd.

Come on guys ..... Henry Cooper was a good fighter and was much loved in Britain .... but he was a European level guy. He didnt really ever come close to a world title and the true world class guys he fought all beat him handily. No disrespect to Henry, but he sort of agreed in his autobiography after Floyd Patterson sparko'd him.

Bruuuuuuuuuuunooooooooooooooo!

As good as Cooper was he was knocked out by world class fighters like Ingemar Johansson.

I have read about Jimmy Wilde, and Tyson loved Jack kid Berg, and Ted Lewis.

Of modern times I would say Buchannan and Galzaghe should get a mention, but that is all.

Id like to say Eubank too as I believe he could compete and make a tough fight for anyone but Benn not necessarily did more on the world stage in regards to challenging for titles and "names" but got wider recognition.

If Henry Cooper deserves a mention then so does Dave Charnley. Very underrated by the boxing world. R.I.P.
