    You can put 10 fighters into a British Boxing Hall Of Fame… Who are you picking? Past or present

    Mine:

    Lennox Lewis
    Joe Calzaghe
    Tyson Fury
    Chris Eubank
    Nigel Benn
    Carl Froch
    Ken Buchanan
    Anthony Joshua
    Barry McGuigan
    Naseem Hamed

    It can be personal preference but they have to be considered a British legend.

    Taylor’s on his way into mine. Below par performance against Catterall but he’s achieved a lot and I expect him to come back stronger at 147

    Very difficult to pick 10 that gave a fair representation over 125 years.

    My bad I suppose he isn't considered a boxing legend, just saw that part now. He's in my top 10 though, laugh all you want I really couldn't care less.

    Good choices but I would have Josh Taylor and Jim Watt in instead of Tony Dosh PPV and Chris Eubank.

    No way can AJ get in the hall of fame, he got completely out-classed by Usyk.
