    Billy Hardy who fought a close fight with Orlando Canizales
    Shean Neary because of his war with Andy Holigan
    Nigel Benn for sheer viciousness
    Paul Ingle for heart and determination in beating Junior Jones in New York
    Lloyd Honeyghan for beating the great Curry and defending the undisputed title on a number of occasions.
    Kevin Luishing who dropped Trinidad and fought an epic fight against a local fighter whose name I have forgotten
    Richard Williams who could have been a contender and lost to Martinez before he came famous.
    Ricky Hatton for beating the great Tzsyu and becoming undisputed champ at the weight by not hiding behind Frank Warren's apron unlike Joe Galzaghe.
    Froch for having the mettle to fight Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, and then Johnson, Andre Ward next.

    I am not British but many of my favorites are. Lloyd Honeygan, Ken Buchanan, Carl Thompson and of course Chris Eubanks but Nigel Benn, what a wrecking ball and the list goes on.

    Jackie "the kid" Berg needs to be mentioned somewhere on this thread. Trained by Ray Arcel after he moved to the states and beat Kid Chocolate. He was from Stepney according to his wiki page.

    And why no Ricky Hatton. There's only one.
