Lennox Lewis is considered by most to be Britain's Greatest Heavyweight, although some would say otherwise. If Lennox is considered to be first, who is second? Note: This is not based on H2H ability, but on achievement and legacy.
LL is a Super-Heavyweight as are some of the others... so Joshua/Fury are your 2cn & 3rd, but Joshua may in fact prove to be No.1 as too Heavyweight, I'd say Bugner & Farr, Woodcock, Cooper, Bruno... Haye is among these, though where it's a hard one. Fitz credit goes to NZ/Aus Don ****ell - a L-HW Tommy Farr David Haye Anthony Joshua Bob Fitzsimmons Tyson Fury Frank Bruno Henry Cooper Joe Bugner
Yeah some of these aren't natural HWs by today's definition, but I wanted a nice spread of fighters from the past as well as recently.
Yes LL learned his craft in Canada and they should be credited for that, and many people do make that claim about him, that he belongs to Canada, boxing wise. but LL came back to Britain, campaigned here long enough that Britain too can lay claim to his boxing... the same is not at all true for Fitz.
Fitz, no doubt. wtf with the Aussie thing, hes Cornish. after that it gets tough, but I'd go with Farr or Bruno.
