    Lewis for me. I'm surprised Jimmy Wilde isn't on your list.

    Hatton had the greatest fans of all time. He probably still has them.

    I agree with lewis, but he was sort of canaidian too. Without lewis I would actually go for hatton, he dominated the jww division for a long time and only lost to manny and floyd.

    Difficult to argue against the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world. Lewis for me too.
