    Which fighters from the UK do American fans truly respect?

    From what I have seen on here I would have to say that Nigel Benn seems to command a lot of respect worldwide.

    Lewis got boo'd by the yanks constantly, nowadays he just about gets half the respect he deserves.

    Depends what you mean , I'm sure there a lot of British fighters that get respected over there but putting a question like this up is just asking to get abuse if you ask me !

    People can occasionally post positive comments on here. If we were all afraid of abuse we wouldn't post any questions.

    Eubank, Benn, Calzaghe, Lewis, Bruno(in a sense that hes not underrated based on his true capability).
