    Owen Moran was pretty awesome, what he did to Battling Nelson.

    In terms of 'best' boxing ability, it's close between Herol Graham and Colin McMillan.

    And Kirkland Laing got by on natural talent alone - he was an alcoholic and pro boxer at the same time, trained for most fights by night clubbing/dancing and having sex. So he was very talented, even out-classed Duran when he decided to train.


    The greatest British fighter though is probably Ted 'Kid' Lewis.

    The fight is on youtube. It wasnt so controversial. ive not watched it in ages but i think Tommy held his own in the early and middle rounds. Louis dominated the latter ones.
