    :thumbsup AGREE I WAS GONNA MENTION HIM EARLIER, BUT I STILL THINK MOST BRITHISH BOXERS ARE OVERRATED NOT UNDERRATED. EXCEPT FOR KEN BUCHANAN. OH HOW ABOUT COLIN JONES HE PROVED TO BE MILTON MCCORYS EQUAL AND WOULD HAVE GRABBED AN ALPHABET TITLE IN OTHER ERAS

    Yeah, it's Ken Buchanan. He's amongst the best LW's in history and has maybe the best left hand of all. A great fighter.

    I'd say people underrate and overrate Hatton in equal measure. He's far from an atg, but neither is he the china chinned bum a sizeable number of people seem to be making him out to be these days. His only losses are against two P4p #1s, and only two fights ago he absolutely humiliated a #2 ranked LWW who people are currently queuing up to suck off since he was 'robbed' against Juan Diaz.

    Eubank, Benn, Bruno and Hamed are all rated fine. They all got the attention they deserved and more.

    Henry Cooper is very underrated in my opinion, you don't see him mentioned often. Lennox Lewis is another though I'm not surprised at all about Lewis considering he was Canadian at start and represented Canada in the olympics only to switch to England since he got support to kick off his pro career, that kind of support wasn't offered in Canada so he's not EXACTLY as British as they would prefer him to be.

    He was born in London and lived there until his parents moved to Canada when he was 12. How much more British do you want?

    Herol Graham was underated.

    Lennox Lewis was British born but not British made. He learnt the trade in Canada, thats why he was so much better than any of our other Heavyweights.
    But no matter where he learnt to box, or who he represented at the olympics, he's still British, & that was always good enough for me.
