Who were the top 10 Brit fighters of all time and how well would they do if active in today`s game?

Well you sound like a superfan. Those excuses are hilariously laughable just like Wilders.

 

So you equate hand injuries and struggling to make weight at the lower weights with 'my ring walk costume was to heavy' and 'my suits LED' s blinded me' and 'Fury only had half his fist in his floppy gloves' and 'Breland poisoned my water bottle', need I go on.....?

 

Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe would still be top of the tree today - great fighters who would grace any era.

 

Are you aware that Hamed damaged his hands during virtually every single title match he ever had and had more hand surgeries than Wilder has claimed to have had by a factor of ten. Also, prior to fighting Barrera he'd been out of training for 6 months due to further hand surgery, piled on nearly 40lb as a consequence and had to lose over 2 stone in the 8 weeks leading to the the fight.

If I remember rightly, Hamed had been boxing since an early age, like 6 or 9 years of age and had no desire to fight anymore, it was purely about the money and inspite of only losing 1 fight, KO'ing 31 of 36 opponents, many of which had never been stopped, being Lineal champion for over 2 years at Featherweight, defending his titles something like 15 times, apparently he was 'massively' overrated!

If anything he never realised his true potential. Much of that is on him but also down to his hands disintegrating in every fight towards the end of his career.

Would Mayweather have beaten him? Absolutely, same way he beat everyone else but, at his absolute best he was a nightmare opponent for any Featherweight who ever lived due to his unorthodox style and frightening punch power.

Ring magazine has him at 46 out of the top 100 best punchers of all time.

Hamed was a special talent not fully realised.

 

Ol Apollo Ceeedy out for the count?

 

And that amounts to the square root of **** all! Hamed crushed Kelly, a highly respected and touted champion with a record of 47-1-2 at the time they fought.

Hamed was caught off balance and momentarily stunned while Kelly was broken down and TKO'ed on his own turf and Medina went on to win titles and give all manner of top names tough fights long after Hamed defeated him. Whats your point again exactly?

Knocking Hamed for having a get out of jail free card can be applied to a whole raft of good, great and ATG fighters and is frankly ridiculous.

 

Yeah, and fighter X only knocked out fighter Y because he threw a punch and fighter Y's chin was in the way..... WTF are you on about?

 

Kelly was miles better than Kid Galahad who Warrington sruggled with. Naz would beat both Warrington and Galahad on the same night without breaking sweat

 

Surley Hatton would merit a top 10 place ahead of Naseem ( I'm not sure either would make my list). Hatton's signature win against an elite fighter in Tsyzu trumps anything Naseem has done.
