    You have to consider fighters like Mace and Greb, Benny Leonard, Ted 'Kid' Lewis, Bob Fitzsimmons, Stanley Ketchel etc

    The fact that a lot of them were Gyspies, Jews, Poles and Cornishmen has nothing to do with it

    BJS and Groves are both World champions and pure boxers..If they last another 3-5 years without a loss (potential x10 fights) then they will leave a credible legacy behind.

    He's not my favourite and he certainly ain't the best but I'm gunna give Katsidis a shout out, he was pure value for money, a proper warrior.

    So we are talking about white Americans or Europeans I’m assuming. Russians don’t count? Or do they?

    It’s tough so I will have to do new and old. In the modern era, I would say Calzaghe is best. Olden era Greb definitely takes it resume wise, but I’ve obviously never seen him fight. Benny Leonard would be next. If it’s someone I’ve seen a lot of film on, it would be Marciano.

    Harry Greb went 45-0, totaling 452 rounds... in 1919 alone!

    Greb is not only the best white boxer, he may be the greatest boxer of all time. He never avoided black boxers, unlike many during his time. He was a middleweight who fought everybody including heavyweights. He was robbed by judges a few times, so his record should be even better. His only real losses came to bigger men.

    Honorable mention to Rocky Marciano, Gene Tunney, Tony Canzoneri, Wladimir Klitschko, Mickey Walker, Joe Calzaghe, Jimmy McLarnin, Willie Pep, Tommy Ryan, and Young Corbett III.
