TOP 5 best British boxers ever

I'm starting to realize that myself. Thanks, Mac

 

Prime Honeyghan
Hatton
Herol Graham ( so unlucky to not become champion )
Eubank
Benn

 

Really?

 

Whats your reasons for the boxers on that list being the 5 best Brits?

 

I was thinking the same when I read it. I've seen worse though ha.

 

Ted Lewis
Jack Berg
Lennox Lewis
Ken Buchanan
Jim Driscoll

In no particular order. Honorary mentions must be given to -


Joe Calzaghe
Lloyd Honeyghan
Randy Turpin

And a few more whom I'll no doubt think of later.

 

Not a bad list ! my list would,t be much different.

 

Ted Kid Lewis
Jim Driscoll
Jimmy Wilde
Lennox Lewis
Joe Calzaghe

 

It's not a good list at all in my opinion.

Yours?

 

I grew up in the 80,s watching Honeyghan, bruno, Graham, Marsch etc....
So i can,t judge all those UK boxers before 1982 .
Will post my top 5 later okay?

 

Well since the thread is on 'best' and not 'greatest' then I suppose there's no harm in posting the best you watched growing up if that's how you want to go about it.

 

I presume from the lists that we are only including gloved boxers.

If you include bareknuckle boxers, then a whole universe of options opens up.

 

I'm pretty certain the 1st considers himself British Zimbabwean and the 2nd considers himself British Nigerian.

 

Great, great point, Janitor. Nicely done. There are many great British fighters from the bareknuckle era. Only problem though, is do we have enough proof on film?
