    148 fights

    131 wins

    99 KO's

    UNBELIEVABLE!

    Definitely Jimmy Wilde. To be honest, my Top 10 would feature Wilde, Ted 'Kid' Lewis, Ken Buchanan etc but would also have places for Naz and Lennox. Depending on what Calzaghe does in the Roy Jones fight, and whether he does go for one last hurrah against someone like Pavlik/Abraham/Dawson/Tarver he could figure much higher.

    Before anyone slates me for Naz, just look at his achievements, his dominance (for a while at least) and his unmatched power (for FW) and I see no reason why he SHOULDN'T be in the top 10, regardless of what you think of him as a person or of his career after the Barrera fight.

    Stephen Chinnock. He's never been hurt and has a secret breathing technique for absorbing body shots that most pros don't know about. Plus he post on here.

    well lewis and farr were also british champions and both must rate above cooper,who was knocked out several times when he moved up to real world class.
