From Ring mag website: 10 greatest British fighters of all time

Bull****

No further comment.

How you can have Lewis and Buchanan out of a top five.....

Just showed whoever did it knows **** about boxing.

 

I think Calzaghe fits somewhere in the lower half of the top 10, if there at all.

 

It's only an opinion guys it's not craved in stone, but its hard to argue with most of it

 

Calzaghe has done nothing to warrent a top 20 spot. So he beat Kessler...so what. He defends a **** belt and beats some old guys. So what.


Len Harvey, Bruno, Minter and a stack others deserve more mention than him.

 

I dont agree with the list at all, Lennox Lewis should be much higher, Calzaghe lower, Owen Moran wouldnt make my list, Freddie Welsh won the british and european title, if he aint british what the **** is he? And Bob Fitzsimmons, well you can make an arguement i guess, but i class him as british. Id have Honeyghan in there aswell, you could make a case for Naz aswell.

 

Out of curiosity did Fitzsimmons ever say whether he considered himself British or Kiwi or Yank?

Calzaghe is way too high, LL is too low.

 

Lennox should be top three for starters!

I havent seen enough of Moran to argue either way to be honest, but he rarely makes other people's lists. Bit more research needed on him from me.

Naz shouldnt even be mentioned!

 

What the hell has fighting outside Europe got to do with it? :roll:

Especially in Welsh's case.

 

Agreed.

For clarity, if Bob Fitz is British he tops my list. But I'm happy to concede that he's not on the basis it puts Lennox in my top three. And I get happy about that :yep

 

I can see the argument for Fitzsimmons not being included. He was born in the UK, which should erase any doubts, but I suppose he learnt all his boxing in Oceania.

Freddie Welsh was in the UK until his teens where he was taught my his grand dad, who was a mountain fighter. Shouldn't fighting in America help and not hinder him on lists? I thought guys were criticized when they didn't, yet he's left out?

 

The Ring mag is always full of bull****.

 

Why does Barry Mac get in, or close to these lists?
