    Lennox Lewis is the only one that really comes to my mind, but I get a feeling I'm forgetting someone.

    I thought of Calzaghe. I suppose, if you go by the numbers. Surely Lewis is a much bigger name. With tougher opposition over the long haul.

    Not in any order my top 10.

    Lennox Lewis
    Joe Calzaghe
    Jimmy Wilde
    Freddy Welsh
    Jim Driscoll
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Ted Lewis
    Ken Buchanan
    Randy Turpin
    Jack Berg

    Guys like John Conteh, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Lloyd Honeyghan, Naseem Hamed, deserve a mention aswell.

    No Hatton what ? you honestly think Ricky Hatton is in some of those great British legends leagues ? you need to learn up about some of those fighters. You will be very impressed, some people are forgetting there history here, Ricky Hatton is a good fighter with a few good wins under his belt. But he needs to get a few big wins before i even mention him amongst those legends.

    I would have thought that 16 straight victories in world title fights earned Hamed a place in the top 10.

    Im not so sure he was one of my favorite fighters, and i've watched most of his fights. And he did have some very good wins abroad, but bad losses to Watson, Eubank, Collins x2, Malinga, hurt his legacy somewhat.

    I'll tell you one match up i would have payed to see and thats Julian Jackson vs Nigel Benn, can you imagine how awesome that match up would of been ?
