Lets see how people do can we name a top 10 all time British Heavies. Lennox will be number one one everyones lists I assume but after that it gets interesting. Cooper and Bugner will feature where does Farr rank? Woodcock or Cockell? Is David Haye worthy of an appearance? Is Danny Williams?! Does Fitzsimmons count? Plenty of other contenders to consider Brian/Jack London Frank Bruno Jack Bodell. Here is my attempt 1 Lewis 2 Fitzsimmons 3 Farr 4 Cooper 5 Bugner 6 Bruno 7 Woodcock 8 Haye 9 Bodell 10 Cockell
Very good effort nice list, have a little look at Blacks effort earlier today down the bottom of the page.
Ive thrown mine out there with very little thought in mind in all honesty. Bugner over Cooper? Really?
Yeah why not? Bugner was a monster, a tough workrate machine who lived with the top Heavys better than Cooper did who stopped Bonecrusher in the first round ;-)
I dont know Bugner maybe operated at the higher class but every top fighter he fought he lost apart from Ellis. The same applies for Cooper whenever he stepped up he was beaten conclusively. I like Coopers dominance of the domestic scene I supose its a bit more measurable than Bugner's career. Cooper dominated over a decade where there where a few decent domestic/Euro heavies knocking about.
