    I know Boxrec is **** but I wanted to get more familiar with the fighting scene on the other side of the pond. I was surprised with no Wilde who they have at 16 and Buchanan @24, Also that a Canadian tops the list:D

    "Ruby" Robert Fitsimmons is one of the greatest fighters ever, not just one of the great Brits. How the f@ck he's not near or at the top of that top 10 list is total f@cking heresy.

    All points-system based (therefore skewed from what seems common sense), same as their active rankings.

    It's true that Lennox "Maple Syrup" Lewis is the best british and Candian fighter of all time.

    He went to the UK for monetary reasons and I can't blame him.

    I've been watching a lot of the old '90's fights with Benn, Eubank, Watson, etc.. lately. Great stuff!

    Terrible list, Who did Turpin beat besides one win over SRR to be 3rd, Also Hamed at 5 yet no Calzaghe WTF best SMW ever not on the list but Hamed is, also if Hamed is on the list why not Hatton, He beat TSzyu better than anything Hamed did. Boxrec are ******ed Calzaghe is easily top 5, undefeated world champion for over a decade beaten the likes of BHOP, Kessler, Eubank and Lacey. In fact on that list Froch would make the top 10 awful awful list.

    Lewis is great. However Calzaghe is greater.

    Yeah, I know the point system is awful. However, I did not know where to go to get an idea of who's who outside of the guys I already know.

    Strange list. Get Naz to **** off that list. Turpin, Paterson and Conteh shouldn't be there either.

    A better list in rough order would be. I'll include Fitz.

    1. Bob Fitzsimmons
    2. Ted Kid Lewis
    3. Jimmy Wilde
    4. Lennox Lewis
    5. Jim Driscoll
    6. Freddy Welsh
    7. Jack Kid Berg
    8. Benny Lynch
    9. Ken Buchanan
    10. Owen Moran
