but it has to be lennox the lion... cos he the one that got the biggest titles and took the biggest fights... he was no where near as entertaining as benn or eubank but he won the big fights and the big titles and quit on top ...which i respect the guy for....
theres ricky hatton... hasnt quite made it yet but i doubt he'll disapoint...
and naz was good... too cocky but a great fighter who could have probably if he had of picked that one big fight right.. maybe he'd have beat morales or another great featherwieght ...but he picked barrera and didnt make it as big as he could have so he doesnt have top spot..
n steve collins is jus there... never a big fan .. i jus found him ..ok lol :P
peace
I still don't buy it that lennox was proper british, the same way as I didn't buy it when Vinnie Jones said he was welsh to play for the national football team. He may have been a large percentage british, but to quote the HP ads....he wasn't greasy spoon and chips n gravy british

Anyhow, my favourite British boxers current are Calzaghe, Alex Arthur, Hatton, Clinton Woods, andTyson Fury (still an amateur...never seen him fight, but that name and growing reputation must mean he's a bright prospect.

As for all time, I'd agree with those who said Eubank, Henry Cooper on what I've heard from my betters, and Welsh legend Tommy Farr. Then again, my knowledge on boxing before 2000 is pretty sketchy on the whole I'm afraid, but that's my two-penneth worth anyway.
Why not ? He was born in this country and fought unde the British flag as a pro so what is there to dispute

As for Nas - I think he may have beaten Morales if he took th eother route cuz Erik was easier to hit and cant box as well as Barrera but public demand forced Nas to meet the real winner Barrera . Big mistake
