is John Conteh the most talented British boxer ever??

In terms of "talent" I'd say Naseem Hamed. He had the most "talent" he just lacked everywhere else. But talent-wise he had it all, fast hands, devastating power, great reflexes, flashy style, charisma whether loved or hated. So in terms of "talent" id say Hamed is in the top and above John Conteh.

Also Eubank you have to list, Turpin, a lot of British, Herol Graham, all rank above John Conteh.

So to me, Hamed, Eubank, Buchanan and Herol Graham and Lennox Lewis are above John in terms of talent natural talent. Some of them took great advantage over their talent(Eubank, Lewis, Graham to an extent) while others didn't achieve as high as they could (Hamed). However the level of 'talent" is unquestionable.

ur talking about athleticism there... hamed was certainly explosive, graham prolly the slickest to come out of britain and buchanan with his quick feet.. but none of them had conteh's technical skills, buchanan comes close but he had some serious issues with his technique.

Buchanan over Conteh
Duran never gave him a rematch after winning on a foul
Thats how good he was
