Greatest Era For British Heavyweight Boxing?

Fury, AJ, Whyte, Chisora, Dubois, Joyce>Lewis, Bruno, Mason

 

Bareknuckle era.

 

You could pick a point in that era where most of the Ring top ten were British.

 

Regency era, old school pugilism.

 

Dear God, what a state it would spell out for Boxing History then if that were the case.

We've never been HW heavy, but over the years there have been some good ones. 3 of the above should absolutely be excluded.

 

canadian Lewis is the greatest brit born heavyweight ever. Maybe the greatest brit born boxer ever so throw in bruno, hide, Akinwande an john fury an it’s gotta be the greatest brit heavyweight era ever

 

The Phil Scott era.

 

Great Scott!

 

Very obviously has to be the AJ and Fury era. Britain has never at any other point produced two men who could simultaneously claim to be world-class HWs and who could consistently beat other highly ranked HWs. Add in the handful of other British HWs like Joyce, Dubois, Chisora, Whyte, Haye, and even Bellew make for by far the best HWs Britain has ever collectively produced if we count 2010-20 as an era.

 

All these other eras people are proposing have multiple fighters.

Phil had his own era, such was his greatness.

 

Indeed, all other claimants would de disqualified...

 

I love how this became a Phil Scott appreciation thread. Didn't expect it but appreciate it all the same.

 

Begs the usual question, what constitutes being (insert country)
