    Lennox Lewis ?

    Joe Calzaghe ?

    Naseem Hamed ?

    Maybe David Haye ?

    Who for you is the best British fighter who has won over the USA fans ?

    Posssibly swap Naz and Calzaghe. Joe might've had a better resume, but in terms of pure talent I don't think he's as good as Hamed.

    Lewis is king obviously.

    The key word here being modern because Britain has produced some ATG's like Bob Fitsimmons,Ted Lewis and Jimmy Wilde,but I've never seen them so I'm unable to make an honest opinion going back that far.But the best Brits I've seen in the modern era are John Conteh,Ken Buchanan and Lennox Lewis.
