    if you could make up the ultimate uk fighter putting a list together made up of past and present based on punch power, movement, jab , chin , what would your list be.

    Movement - calazghe?
    punch power - haye?
    jab - naseem?
    chin - froch?

    There was one who had it all: Jimmy Wilde; Bob Fitzsimmons too, if you say he is from the UK.

    But playing the game

    Movement: Buchanan

    Power: Wilde

    Jab: Lewis

    Chin: Lynch

    Buchanan, Calzaghe, Froch are the best I've seen
    on paper Jimmy Wilde, Ted Kid Lewis, Bob Fitzsimmons would have to be up there

    P4P I reckon Nas has to be up there for punch power?

    From what I've seen:

    Movement: Nas
    Punch power: Nas
    Jab: Lewis
    Chin: Froch

    At his peak Naz had brilliant movement ,great power and a bloody good chin, probably the best boxer I have seen.But not forget Eubank Snr.

    lol as soon as Hamed stepped up he got completely outclassed easily, then retired
    he doesn't deserve to be in this discussion

    maybe you could put him in a discussion of UK boxers with the most 'natural talent' ever

    but 'greatest' no way

    Yeah, but the amount of ****ing punches Froch takes and somehow survives is incredible. :lol:

    Nobody is saying he is the greatest, but that some of his attributes were brilliant.

    Eubank had a better chin than Froch. Has Froch took bombs off someone with the power of Benn? No
