Re: Greatest British boxer of all time?
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.He has to be in the list mate!Squeeze him in there and i'll rep you,go on make my day mate
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 ?

Re: Greatest British boxer of all time?
IMO Wilde has to be number one, he is the only person from Brittain in the top 50 all time, and Lennox would have to deserve a higher spot than Calzaghe, fought better guys.
BOXINGS LIVING LEGEND!!

Re: Greatest British boxer of all time?
Lennox Lewis was the bes by far BUT the fans favorites were Henry Cooper & Frank Bruno.
Calzaghe doesnt come close, he needs to rematch, and this time beat Bernard Hopkin legitimately before he comes close
