Greatest British boxer for each division?

Nah Buchanan for Lightweight

 

Pretty much how I'd have it, as well. Although I'd have Conteh at LHW, and maybe Rudkin at bantam.

 

Lewis
Conteh
Fitzsimmons
Lewis
Welsh
Driscoll
Rudkin
Wilde

 

S-HW Lewis
Heavyweight Farr/Bugnar
Light Heavyweight Harvey/Mills/Conteh
S-MW Calzaghe
Middleweight McAvoy/Benn
Welterweight Ted Kid Lewis/Roderick
Lightweight Freddie Welsh/Berg
Featherweight Jim Driscoll
Bantamweight Pedlar Palmer
Flyweight Jimmy Wilde/Lynch

and a good few more just as good or better.

 

Spot on. keep well.

 

I'm none to sure McAvoy should be rated above Turpin or Harvey,or that Mills would beat Finnegan and Cockell at175lbs. Wilde/Lynch is spot on for me.
I don't think Berg did much at 147lbs certainly not as much as Stracey.

 

Good point on McAvoy/ Harvey , from memory Harvey has a 4/1 win ratio over McAvoy . keep well.

 

Jack Kid Berg for 140lbs, not a classic division unfortunately. Though I find Berg hard to rate as he scored his best stuff around different weight classes. It makes him more likely to be forgotten unfortunately.

Also, I wouldn't rank him but a very underrated British fighter is Seaman Tommy Watson. He has a win over a (faded) LaBarba, fought Kid Chocolate to a decision and has wins over other top fighters and contenders, especially on the British scene. Very underrated imo. Record of 112 wins, 9 losses and 2 draws. I just wanted to mention him as I've been looking into him.

 

Good call, vastly underrated British fighter. keep well.

 

That is about how I have it.

 

Proved himself v Duran who would have torn Welsh apart.

 

No, Conteh was well beaten by Muhammad and too one fisted.
