Top 10 British Fighters of all time

Jack Kid Berg deserves a mention too

 

I take it from that list that my decision not to buy The Sun's boxing DVD was a good one?

 

Just don't buy the Sun full stop mate

 

Fair enough, I was unecessarily rude to you as well, and for that I apologise, it was early.

Thing is, it's not favouring older fighters to say that a lot if them has far more impressive bodies of work. Fact is, their era demanded a lot of things (best fighting the best, regular fighting, having to truly earn the status if 'World Champion') that the last few eras (especially the last five years or so) and it's far more ludicrous to try and justify a modern fighters 'greatness' based off the back of a few baubles.

Calzaghe did not do as much as quite a few 'great' British fighters.

And who the **** is 'Sud' or whatnot? Where is the Mong???

 

:deal

 

i kinda agree with this flea,although i would say not only black and white times(im not clued up to much on the olden days,im only 41 ffs),in the 60's 70's and evn 80's before all the rest of the belts and weights came into play,the best usually fought the best,i think,my memory is not what it used to be:nutcase

 

Randy Turpin knocked Don Cockell out before Marciano did. Pretty impressive for a middleweight to knock out a future heavyweight challenger and yet it always gets overlooked.

 

WHAAAT

No mention of Deaf Burke and the Game Chicken

 

Based on what exactly???

 

I agree with Lewis to an extent, although I'd rate Calzaghe above him personally... I was just arguing on the basis of rating black and white boxers> colour boxers.

 

Black and white isn't auto > colour

But...

They gave themselves a greater chance to be great.
