    All-time, probably Ted "kid" Lewis or Jimmy Wilde.

    Currently, probably Tyson Fury, and he really hasn't done much at all.

    Froch, Lewis, Naz, Calzaghe.

    All time you would have to say Lewis is the greatest UK fighter ever. Froch's CV is pretty much unrivalled though.

    Ken was before my time sadly, but he will always be remembered as a legend who had to win titles the hard way, fighting in most of his opponents countries.

    From my time in boxing i think we have to consider Lewis as the possible greatest his record was not perfect but he avenged all his losses and I think you could have put him in with any HW ever at his prime and he would have easily held his own. Its hard to think of anyone with his physical attributes and ability he had at his peak at HW IMO

    Naz could have been, he had natural ability and the most charismatic boxer of all time from UK. His attitude and ambition is what stopped him achieving proper greatness in my eyes. I personally dont think we ever seen what he truly would hvae been capable of sadly
