Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I haven't seen much of Jimmy Wilde, but you have to figure the greatest British fighter in recent memory is Lennox by a good stretch. Aside from being very skilled for how big he was, no other Brit even comes close in terms of stature or accomplishments. He was a dominant heavyweight champion of the world when that still meant a lot to average sports fans, he is the only household name who could conceivably be on this list. As for the silver and bronze I'd say probably Calzaghe and then Eubank myself. If you wanted to just say best on a given night, scrap accomplishments and base it on peak form sort of thing; Naseem Hamed, Lloyd Honeyghan, Ken Buchanan and Herol Graham could've easily been just as good as anyone imo.
Nigel Benn
Charlie Magri
Kevin Mitchell
I still think Lewis came along at the right time. Just my opinion so don't shoot me down.
For modern era...
1. Calzaghe
2. Lewis
3. Tough call between Hatton, Hamed, Eubank, Benn
