Would this be the greatest UK fighter of all time ? Workrate - calzaghe Jab- bruno Power - Benn Speed - Naz Bodyshot- hatton Chin - froch Will to win- eubank
Good list though I would have Lewis for power and Fury for his jab. As mentioned Froch/Eubank you could swap round but both great in both departments. Pre last Polo fight as he struggled with the weight Scott Harrison is a real contender for engine and chin.
Are you not thinking too much about the power aspect of his jab rather than the multi tool that it actually is? I know i’m preaching to the converted but the jab is a real multi-tool in boxing which when used effectively, dictates the pace of the fight, it’s what attacks are set up from and what stops an opponent setting up their own rhythm and building attacks of their own. Lewis and Tyson Fury were/are so clever with their jab. It’s not so much about the power they put behind it but the intelligence in how they used it.
Also, I think it would be interesting to add other important criteria such as footwork, defence, speed, timing, movement, ring IQ etc.
I dont think Benns was greater. I think it was possible more evident as it was his biggest weapon whereas Lewis had many more strings to his bow. Bruno had a terrific jab, but if their was a mythical match up between Bruno and Fury, Fury would win the battle of the jabs. His jab has more variety, comes from all kinds of angles and is so quick and relaxed. Then their is the length of the jab (worth mentioning as obviously Bruno and Fury were/are both heavyweights).
I have to disagree m8. I think his heart let him down when Callum Smith stopped him, when he was down he was looking for a way out.
