Best born and raised British HW.

Farr, Cooper, Woodcock & Bugner and now Haye!

 

Cooper for me.

Farr i dont know a great deal about apart from he was durable when he faced the top guys across the pond in his prime.

Haye has only had a handful of fights at heavy and even though he won a version i dont think he could be thought of as best heavy

Bruno didnt even fight for a british title


In fact the more i think about it, im split on Farr and Cooper. Who has the best win between the 2? Farr over Baer or Cooper over Folley? Both of which were avenged pretty emphatically.

**** it, i go with Cooper

 

Tommy Farr, and it isn't close.

 

If we're talking H2H best it's between Haye, Akinwande, Danny Williams, Bruno or Farr. Farr and Cooper are probably too small H2H and Cooper has been overrated though, Farr was a a fair bit better. Williams wasn't consistent but he was massively talented. Akinwande was Wlad lite, probably could have beat Holyfield in '98 if that came off.

 

Wasn't akinwande half octopus

 

Don't forget Brian London.

Both Patterson and Ali thought him a worthy HW contender.

 

poor old herbie...not even a mention

 

Sprott/Francis.

 

I think Bruno,he lost to some good fighters just like some of the older guys and usually put up a decent enough showing in doing so. He also won a world title which the others did not. I might be wrong but I think both Akinwande and Hide were born in Nigeria.

 

Bruno

 

herbie was born in Nigeria.
