top 10 post-second world war brits.

calzaghe shouldnt be one. hatton maybe shouldnt be in although he's close. conteh too high ??

 

no eubank shocks me a bit.

 

1. Lennox Lewis
2. Ken Buchanan
3. Joe Calzaghe
4. Randy Turpin
5. Lloyd Honeyghan
6. John Conteh
7. Ricky Hatton
8. Nigel Benn
9. Barry McGuigan
10. Herol Graham

How anybody can have Lennox Lewis anywhere other than #1 is beyond me. They need to watch more boxing.

 

Eubank had the talent to be on that list, but spent too long defending a weedy world title and never fought abroad in his prime.

 

herol graham in ahead of hamed? really?

 

*cough* Joe Calzaghe *cough*

Sorry, that's better...

 

Yes - if you saw Graham in the late 80's, especially at 154, he was a genius.

Probably the most ducked fighter since WW2, certainly from Europe anyway.

 

Point noted

Calzaghe was better than Eubank though, and has a stronger resume without question.

 

where did this list come from?

I would of given lyod honeyghan a higher place than tenth, lewis should of been number 1, steve collins is a name which i would of added to that list as well

 

unfortuneatly also the most under-achieving as well. he choked in the big fights.

 

not british, irish .and also not good enough anyway

 

He's Irish, therefore not a top ten (or top anything, or bottom for that matter) brit

 

i've got graham's career set on dvd and the man most certainly had a touch of genius about him but also had the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory too often.
