The 10 Best UK Fighters of the 21st Century

Exactly. Surely better to be 'one time' and never lose to the fatty in the first place.

 

1. Joe C
2. Froch
3. Hatton
4. Lewis
5. Fury
6. Haye
7. Brook
8. Khan
9. Taylor
10. Frampton

Something like that anyway

 

More bait to add to the drama

 

The two time winner is a fringe pudding as well.

Not an elite trait in sight.

 

Exactly same as mine.

 

Very well put

 

It amazes me that I haven't seen Hearn or anyone selling Joshua as two-time challenged on that. And I've seen too many interviews for my sanity.

 

Maybe the reason he primarily does interviews with ones he's friendly with that call him Eduardo

 

I was gonna post mine but it's essentially the same or similar to everyone else's.

 

“Two decent enough showings!” Reeling against the ropes as the bell saved him, at Tottenham, with every possible advantage. Unnecessary rematchroom in Saudi, saw Usyk repeat his superiority, despite one dodgy judge, requiring either an eye test or investigation into his recent bank credits.

 

Calzaghe
Taylor
Froch
Hatton
Fury
Frampton
Brook
Haye
Khan

That's just off the top of my head and would need to give it more thought I think.

The top 4 are pretty clear imo in whatever order you prefer.

 

Fury has got to be in the top four. There is no way someone like Hatton is above those other names. He beat Kostya Tszyu (and bloody hell does he keep letting us know about it) who was at the end and that's it. I liked Hatton but he gets overrated to a ridiculous degree by some.

 

Fair points mate and on reflection I'd say it's actually the top 3 rather than top 4 set in stone. It amazes me to see Taylor so far down some lists but it's all subjective I guess.

With Fury I think it largely depends on how highly you rate Wilder and personally I don't at all. I'd argue the description of beating one fighter at the end and that's it applies to Fury also at this point.

That said Fury's of course not done yet and could conceivably jump way up this list.

 

Lennox would be my number one. Forget the criteria in the OP
Lennox Lewis was arguably at his peak in 2000
