Top Five Brit heavyweights

1. Lennox Lewis
2. Bob Fitzsimmons
3. Henry Cooper
4. Joe Bugner
5. Tommy Farr

 

1. Tommy Farr
2. Bruce Woodcock
3. Henry Cooper
4. Joe Bugner
5. David Haye

I've listed in a H2H sense as this is the ONLY accurate way to rate fighters over Era's as to who would probably beat who. achievement ratings are misleading because some fighters fought in much weaker Era's and for Mickey Mouse titles, so H2H is the only way of trying to determine the best. You can mix these up anyway you like but I think the Top 3 would be set though some might place Cooper ahead, but I think Farr & Woodcock were tougher in a tougher Era overall.

1. LL, but I don't consider him British, plus he's a S-HW, a whole new animal, and 'they' should be rated as S-HWs.
2. Fitzsimmons I rate at L-HW and like LL his Boxing ability should be credited elsewhere.
3. Billy Wells deserves a mention, but these other fellas fought in better Eras & against better opponents.
4. Bruno, some might like to throw Bruno in, but H2H I think these guys are better.
