    i think we all agree that lennox lewis is by far the best british heavyweight there has been but who ranks on the second position? is it frank bruno, david haye, henry akinwande or who do you got?
    i personally can't decide between haye and bruno. if haye wins against old vitali i think i'd give him the edge.

    thoughts?

    Bruno is better than Haye.

    Frank Bruno probably is, sucks for him that he is so defined by his two losses to Tyson......

    I'd say Bruno. If Haye had wins over the likes of Povetkins, Chagaev (a few years ago) he would be higher.

    Bruno was much better than Haye.
    The only reason Haye is a top player in heavyweight boxing is because it's so terrible these days.

    Lennox Lewis is obviously number 1.

    Bob Fitzsimmons would have to be #2, since he was the undisputed champion.

    Out of the rest, Tommy Farr has the best resume on paper.
