how many brits belong in the atg category of heavyweight boxers?

ricky hatton

 

Seriuosly...............Heavyweights, thats it. Great fighters though....:think

 

Unfortunately I think thats probably it!

 

If he is saying Hatton can I take Naz?

 

they boast and brag about these guys...when they do well. In a nationalistic way... of claiming superiority... but all of them seeked America to make money and get fans... To face elite opposition for once.

I commend them for coming overseas to face the elite. ...other than that. ....I don't think anyone was really noteworthy....besides Lennox. .... I missed him when he was gone though.

The whole American boxers are **** argument that gets laid down is ridiculous... they do it everytime they get someone that could be something. They **** in their own hand sometimes.

even their boxers come off as... "i am the best...nobody can beat me" ....thats great ...but...
Who are they relaying this message to? .... the brits? ...or the american public that seems to matter more. .... they want to come here and fight great fighters and make more money.


have at it.

 

:yep

 

Don't forget Audley.

 

- They are all HOF: Naz, Hatton, Calzaghe, Lewis, Eubank, Benn and before that I wouldn't pretend to even know.

- What I feel really strongly about is, regardless of whether it was his fault/Frank Warrens fault/ or just bad circumstances - Calzaghe could have become something really really special. If fights against Toney and Hopkins (in their primes) happened the Welshman stood a good chance of beating these amazing names. A prime Jones would have wooped him though.

 

pointless post man, just chill and answer the question rather than rant ffs. Why can't we all just get on?

On topic LL is the only one who comes to mind. Other countries have far more HW ATG's. That does'nt bother me though in the slightest. Ali is and will always be my hero. My favourite boxers aren't even british, at the end of the day i appreciate the best boxers regardless of where they are from.

 

You know who else belongs, the muther ****ing A-Force. The ****ing A-Team, were preemptively named the A-Team in homage to Audley Harrison. The A-bomb, is actually the Audley-Bomb. Chuck Norris has night sweats worrying about Audley kicking his ass.

/sarcasm


But yeah Lennox Lewis and Bob Fitzsimmons is about it, perhaps someone from the 19th century but that is about it.

 

Nope, that's it.

 

Its hard to say, because someone like bruno if he were American would be a shoe in, thats how grotesquely over-rated Americans get, but in reality, Fitzsimmons and Lewis are 2 ATG's

 

Of course, you wouldn't do that, would you?

 

Yah guys like Larry Homles, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano,m George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier couldnt hold Frank Bruno;s jockstrap...amirite?

Bruno is below the level of a Tim Witherspoon

Only 1 modern name worth mentioning. Lennox. Nehidn lennox but not on any atg list is Haye
