    Chris Eubank is one of the top British fighters IMO, surprised no one mentioned him. I think Herol Graham was really underrated too.
    David Lemieux = Future MW Champ and P4P King

    Chris Eubank is in my top ten joint with Nigel Benn and yes Herol was good but failed to win a world title

    Well, here's the top 10 that I have just submitted to the BBC website, and ultimately I can't see past Lennox Lewis as the top british fighter.

    1. Lennox Lewis
    2. Chris Eubank
    3. Ricky Hatton
    4. Naseem Hamed
    5. Henry Cooper
    6. Joe Calzaghe
    7. Lloyd Honeyghan
    8. Alan Minter
    9. Colin Jones
    10. Nigel Benn

    I must admit that my judgement is, as everyone's will be in the boxing that they have seen, so mine is dominated by more recent fighters, but I'll obviously defer my opinion to the guys like scrap who have the greater knowledge on older fighters
