    Britain's best fighter by far was Lennox Lewis.

    Probably not quite the best ever but Eubank was always my favourite, him and Benn had some great wars.

    kirklaind laing had so much talent. sadly a lot of the time it was wasted.

    for sheer perseverance i think dennis andries deserves a mention too

    CC Preme "The Mighty Atom" definately #1 he was outweighed by 40 lbs. in some of his fights.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    havent heard a mention of alan minter yet. he was a tough bastard. he once had to lose some crazy amount of weight a few hours before a weigh in. he had to wear a sweat suit and skip and shadow box non stop to sweat it off.
