British boxers all time favourites

[marbleheadmaui]

My favourites are varied; some great & some not:-

Carl Thompson - I'm a huge fan of The Cat. Tough as old boots & was always involved in exciting fight.

Lennox Lewis - Class act that never ducked anybody & the best heavyweight of his generation.

Pat Barrett - Short career, but very exciting fighter that could be hugely explosive.

Prince Naseem Hamed - I loved his swagger; brutal punch power & a real crowd pleaser.

Nigel Benn - A true warrior who never knew when he was beaten, except for his last fight.

Nigel was everything you want wasn't he?

He certainly was.

Benn was a joy to behold as a fight fan.

I just wish that there were more like him nowadays.

NOBODY in the US saw the Ragamuffin Man coming. Did the Brits?
