    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.

    Because that is where he is from Miles Platting
    You need to do a bit more research mate, he has never boxed out of Salford because he is not from Salford.
