    No no :lol: just know they won some medals in boxing at the Olympics last time out, as well as that flyweight guy who lost to Daisuke Naito.

    england - lennox, ted lewis. 3rd?

    I'd be tempted to put some Honeyghan in their for pure peak skill level, but it faded too quickly. Naz Hamed was outstanding too but getting iced by a legend without trying to get a rematch is a question mark. Benn Eubank and Calzaghe were damn good but were never legends. John Conteh? Turpin? Not sure which one I'd go for.

    I can't answer this because I wasn't alive when some of my countries boxing heros were around. It's hard to know how accurate history is. Many pugilists in Ireland would argue the best Irish fighter was Dan Donnelly! I honestly don't know.
