    Jimmy Wilde, with Joe Calzaghe a close second and Lennox Lewis third. No suprise Wales has produced the true warriors of British boxing

    He never fought the level of boxers that the great Danny Williams and Francis boxed against.

    I wouldn't say schools Calzaghe......Steve Bunce has said time and time again that Calzaghe beats Benn and Eubank in their prime so why cant he out-point Watson?? Did he really hit that hard?? I know he was skilled but Joe likes a tear up

    Harrisson can beat AAA. One warm up and if he stays off the booze then he will beat AAA.

    Why would he need to stop him? :nut

    Benn could very easily find himself outboxed by a master like Joe. If Chris Eubank can do it...

    Depends if you call LL British, if not, Calzaghe.

    ps Hatton is one of the worst fighters, from any country, ever to make it to 'world level'

    I doubt he does. Eubank and Benn have themselves said that JC is on another level and better than them. They did say they would have beaten Collins when they were prime.
