Favourite and Least Favourite British Fighters and Why.

[aceofspades]

Don't even think Joe won the fight. He wouldn't have beaten a prime Hopkins or Jones. Wouldn't call Calzaghe my least favourite, though, because he could fight and was very good, just not an all time great in my opinion.
My fave was John Conteh, who if he had Calzaghe's dedication , would have been our best ever. Least favourite is hard cos I respect most fighters, but at one point it was Naz, due to his cockiness. I accept he was a huge talent, though.

In terms of styles and skills, Eubank and Kevin Mitchell has always floated my boat. I like David Haye too but to a lesser extent..

GUys that are rubbish in my eyes are Calzaghe ( although he's no British ) and Ricky Hatton who I dislike very much as a fighter. TO me, Ricky Hatton is one of the most boring fighters ever, he was like a John Ruiz mini-me with that same ole tactic of punch grab punch grab punch grab punch grab.... I can't stand the guy... I just hope Hatton stays retired and never comes back.. For a guy with such lousy boxing ability, he did pretty good for himself so i give him that.. But he would have been better off as a wrestler in the WWE. He could have wrestled side by side with British the bulldog.. They could have called him the Manchester Midget.. It's mind boggling how some actually found his style to be exciting.. smh
