TOP 5 best British boxers ever

Taylor was the 5th world rated super middleweight FACT.

 

You referred to him as a middleweight he wasn't, he was the 5th rated super middleweight in the world.
This is your other post,.which was also wrong.
"middleweight Taylor, who had at that point nobody stopped since 6 years".Taylor was not then a middleweight ,and he had stopped Eduard
4 years earlier.

 

wilde
welsh
lewis
lewis
calzaghe

I've got a pretty big gap between the top 3 and kid lewis. wilde is the best brit ever overall, welsh best ever victory by a brit and champ in tough era, lewis best brit hw ever.

i'd like to fit naz in, but need a top ten for that

driscol
berg
benn
hatton
naz
lynch
buchanan
froch

edit - move buchanan up above benn

 

You make an incorrect statement, I correct you on it, you respond with an insult. There is a perpetual pattern here!lol

 

If you want to rate Tom Johnson that high, feel free. I simply don't. Honestly, I find it unfathomable that anyone would rate him (especially the 33 year old version) higher than Driscoll, one of the true elite feathers ever, but feel free. Hopkins may have been older than Vasquez, but Hopkins had never been stopped, whereas Vasquez had been stopped a few times before fighting Hamed. And 36 or 37 (I forget) is ANCIENT for a super bantam-feather. Froch was dropped by Taylor, but he wasn't "almost stopped" lol. And Taylor was a middleweight? When he and Froch fought, he was a full blown super middle. So what Froch was getting outboxed. Obviously Taylor was quicker and more athletic. But the last time I checked, Froch wore Taylor down and STOPPED HIM lol.

 

Hopkins was stopped in his last fight.

 

"So what Hopkins was never stopped" That is your post no mention of, [at that time]. Try and admit you are wrong sometimes it would make you slightly[only slightly,] more credible as a poster.

 

1 Tyson Fury
2 David Haye
3 Lennox Lewis
4 Joe Calzaghe
5 Carl froch

 

Tyson fury at 1
what about ted kid Lewis or jimmy wilde on the list

 

Anyone who seriously suggests that Lazlo Papp is a top 5 p4p great is living in a world of fantasy.
Anyone who makes the statement in quoted commas in response to the name Jack Kid Berg being mentioned should automatically be disqualified from this thread.
FYI. Berg beat:
Harry Mizler
Eric Boon
Tippy Larkin
Gustave Humery
Len Wickwar
Kid Chocolate
Buster Brown
Billy Petrolle
Joe Glick
Andre Routis
Bruce Flowers
Mushy Callahan
Tony Canzoneri



"The third sounds like a Swedish guy (or one of Chavez' bum of the month);"


Anyone who mouths these inanities in regard to Freddie Welsh and the accompanying nonsense underlined emphatically demonstrates they know absolutely nothing about boxing.


FYI.Welsh beat:
Charley White
Willie Ritchie
Leach Cross
Mexican Joe Rivers
Abe Attell
Dick Hyland
Ad Wolgast
Johnny Dundee
Jim Driscoll
Benny Leonard
Battling Nelson

" I think welsh didn't even win a major title; at least he isn't in my top 35 of Lightweight of course. Eubanks and arguable Neslon achieved actually more than Buchanan (even Honeyghan is tight to them)."

You are without a shred of doubt the most stupidly vacuous poster on this forum.
Klompton has systematically destroyed every one of your points on your hero Laszlo Papp's thread, humiliating and routing you at every turn, but you blithely refuse to acknowledge it ,though others have commented on you being totally and completely outclassed It would be labelled cruelty to a dumb animal if you weren't such a blatant and catastrophic example of lack of self awareness . No matter how many times you are corrected in your errors you never admit them, but instead move on to type yet more nonsensical drivel.
You don't even have comedic value anymore.

 

I assume he was joking. I sure hope so.

 

To have a sense of humour you first have to have sense!
