The best British boxer ever.

Ted Kid Lewis and Jimmy Wilde.

 

Has to be those two and I’d lean Wilde but wouldn’t argue with anyone who said Lewis.

 

Near perfect list IMO, only quibble is Honeyghan at 10 , personally would have Welsh and poss Lynch instead , but nit picking. stay safe buddy.

 

I get that but i just had to include Lloyd as he is one of my all time favourite fighters

 

Ok mate, but sometimes Favs can get in the way of reason and having a open mind, have done it myself.

 

Does Turpin have the best single win of the Brits?

 

Its up there but for me nothing beats Lloyd Honeyghan`s win against Don Curry

 

Moran, Eubank and Buchanan are up there but it’s impossible to say

 

Probably Ted Kid Lewis

 

Yes I believe he does, beating SRR alone , gives him that accolade .
Buchanan/ Laguna, very good.
Kid Lewis/ Britton " " "
Mcguigan/ Pedroza " " "
Stracey/ Napoles " " "
But SRR....... stay safe guys.

 

Gotta be Lennox Lewis cos he beats any British pro boxer who ever lived and put on a pair of gloves in a boxing match. There is no other British boxer ever that can make such a claim like that.

 

Well, he does have a very sizeable advantage over 99.9+%.

 

1-2 Jimmy Wilde/Bob Fitzsimmons
3-4 Ted Kid Lewis/Freddie Welsh
5-6 Lennox Lewis/Jim Driscoll
7-9 Ken Buchanan/Joe Calzaghe/Benny Lynch
10-11 Jack Berg/Owen Moran

Conteh definitely had the talent but lacked the discipline. Winstone was excellent too, better than Hamed/Eubank/Benn IMO. If Boza-Edwards counts then he might be pushing top 10.

 

But the third was Australian!

I miss here Nelson and Benn, possible also Hatton (for top 15). All could be ahead of Driscoll.

 

Buchanan, Wilde and Lewis.
