Is Carl Froch the second greatest British fighter of all time right behind Lewis?

tko6, nodded Herol in agreement.

 

No froch isn't he is still below the likes of calzaghe, berg and ted kid lewis to name just a few

 

It does make sense that a politically correct person such as yourself would hate is own lineage just for the sake of doing so. Liberals are the biggest bunch of racists on this planet.

Do Darwanists such as me and sterilize yourself.

 

Hamed basically cleaned out a division you clown!

 

no one comes close to Lewis.

He towers above anyone, a Godzilla who bridged the Atlantic.

 

Hammo definitely makes a hypothetical Brit HoF, for that amazing early run.

Shame his heart wasn't in it, but a man who gets disheartened permanently after one loss cant expect to ever get in a world level HoF.

 

He was one of the best feather weights ever, awkward style and ko % was amazing for weight. T

 

I think its hard to say that unless he'd stayed around for more fights.

But without the heart theres always lacking.


the best you can say about hamed is that he had the potential to be one of the greatest fw ever.but he didn't try to prove it. others did try and that's what makes the difference.

 

Mike Tyson attempted to represent a North American country in the olympics. Tyson lived in the USA for most/ all of his career, and was trained by American trainers. Mike was not born in the uk, but he did fight there at least once. Therefore, if Lennox Lewis is the #1 boxer in Brittish history, Id have to say "Iron" Mike Tyson is the clear #2

 

these are the days of fluid heritage, and in that respect I have no trouble with Lewis fighting for Britain.

 

Obama was born on an island which had only become part of the USA 2 years prior, grew up in Indonesia, and had a Kenyan father. Yet he's definitely American. And Lewis is definitely British. Michael Strahan lived in Germany from the age of 9 to 17 ... do you consider him American?

 

If both of the examples you mentioned weren't born in the US, you may have a point. Lennox identifies himself as Brittish, so for many that is enough. His travels and lineage are rather strange you have to admit. He has to identify himself as something I suppose. If boxing fans in Jamaica are aware of him, I think they should be proud. He really was a great fighter.
