    Here goes my effort.


    1. Lennox Lewis (London, England)
    2. Bob Fitzsimmons (Cornwall, England)
    3. Joe Bugner (Hungary via Cambridgeshire)
    4. Tom Sharkey (Dundalk, Ireland)
    5. Tommy Farr (Rhondda, Wales)
    6. Frank Bruno (London, England)
    7. Henry Cooper (London, England)
    8. Don Cockell (London, England)
    9. Bruce Woodcock (Doncaster, England)
    10. Danny Williams (London, England)
    Thats my list for now. I may revise it before the deadline as i'm sure I can be swayed with some of those lower end guys.

    Also, everyone has got to remember this is a British and Irish all time list, so as we go down in weights, remember that. Just because they didn't make a huge splash on the top world scene, doesn't mean what they did in the ring doesn't qualify them for this particular all time great lists. Of course we're going to struggle at times when we look at it from a world level, but this is the fun.




    Also, was thinking 2 weekly may be too long, everyone OK with it being every week a new division, every Monday?

    We'll see.:yep

    I think its a particualrly good list for the nation it is. As long as everyone realises that of course none of te lists will resemble world all time lists we'll be ok.

    Cool, weekly it is.

    Although we were going to do the 8 original divisions, I can't see a logical explanation for how we can leave out some divisions like super middleweight and cruiserweight.:good. We'll see what people think. We'll leave certain divisions out.

    Smith do original 8 then go back over the ******* divisions

    the original 8 will generally have more historical depth
