    I know this poll overlaps with one or two similar topics, but this suggestion that Calzaghe is the best British fighter ever, seems to be floating around a lot at the moment, and I'd like to get some kind of definitive Brit-Forum opinion on the subject. So please vote :good

    You know you are going to get 90% No on here, as opposed to 80% yes on somewhere like BBC that is frequented by clueless casuals.

    Pointless.

    No.

    Even in the modern era Lennox is better.
