    Nigel Benn, even though he unintentionally ruined one of my favorites. Benn is a nice guy.

    That is a really hard list. Being British I have supported all of those fighters at some point in time. You have 5 definite HOF greats. So for me I went with my favorite not the best.

    The dark destroyer Nigle Benn!

    Lennox Lewis and in my opinion he is the best fighter on that list.

    I like Froch. He can talk without coming off like an idiot, fights gutsy battles and doesn't mind fighting tough opponents. Everything one could want from a boxer.

    I wish he made more money though, he'd certainly deserve it. Carl has to try to set foot in the US like Khan did.

    Ricky Hatton - My vote for favorite. He's more accomplished than anyone on this list except for Lennox. He trained harder than anyone here. He was tough as nails. One of my favorite fighters, ever.

    Carl Froch - Tough, versatile. One of the best British fighters in a LONG time.

    Joe Calzaghe - I like Joe but he couldn't beat Hopkins or Roy if their primes.

    Lennox Lewis - Accomplished, had great technical ability, good finisher. But overconfident and lazy. Incredibly overrated on ESB.

    Nigel Benn - Don't know anything about this guy.

    Chris Eubank - Don't know anything about this guy.

    Prince - Entertaining against C and D level fighters. Not skilled enough to compete against A Level.

    Amir Khan - B+ level fighter. Fast hands, very skilled but limited toughness.

    David Haye - Total ****ing clown with zero technical ability.

    G Chisora - Unskilled oaf riding a wave of undeserved popularity.

    This is a very tough list to pick from. I picked Khan because of the level of excitement he brings to the ring every time out. He has very good speed and very good power. The fact that his chin is always in questioned generates entertainment. My second favorite fom this list, and a very close second in that regard, is Carl Froch. I have not seen any other British fighter take on as many big names as him. He has fought the best of the division and no other fighter packs a resume close to his.
