Top 10 British Fighters of all time

Not really. Common sense says that in the 120+ years of boxing in Britain every single one of the top 10 fighters were likely to have been produced in the last 40 years.

 

I'm sorry NO MAS but ive made a vow to ruin the legacies of all the Mexican greats due to the amount of abuse LP has been giving me in the prediction league thread.

 

You are such a ****** by claiming others are biased you don't realise how biased you are.

And it's all down to ignorance. You'd watch Canzoneri and label him 'old fashioned'.

 

Lewis number 1 anyway.

There's a good start to your list

 

Ok stick with big Joe who's two biggest wins come against a shot Roy Jones and a very close victory against an ageing (yet still decent) Bernard Hopkins.

Compare that to Lewis who fought in a stacked Heavyweight era and fought and beat most of the top guys.

 

I doubt Calzaghe is number 1 on Vano's list either. And you consider RJJ as one of his two best wins?

 

The thing is I NEVER EVER claim today's fighter are the best ever. The way some people (including you) go on about fighters who fought '' back in the day '' you would think they were superhuman.

 

is this Colin Harts then?

 

Okay lets salvage this thread anybody want to make an attempt at an all time list not just post war?

I will have a go lets get some debate
1. Bob Fitzsimmons
2. Jimmy Wilde
3. Lennox Lewis
4. Ted 'Kid' Lewis
5. Ken Buchanan
6. Owen Moran
7. Joe Calzaghe
8. Jim Driscoll
9. John Conteh
10.Randy Turpin

 

good list:good

 

1. Lennox Lewis
2. Ken Buchanan
3. Jimmy Wilde
4. Randy Turpin
5. John Conteh

Not sure about my next five, will have a think.

 

well in his top 4.

Says it all really I suppose.

 

Jimmy Wilde, Bob Fitzsimmons and Ted Lewis could all conceiveably be placed above Lewis.
