who is best British boxer past and present

Haha, lets just say when I make a list of "top 50 ATG's" that I don't have to think to myself; "did I forget any British fighters?"

 

Bob Fitzsimmons easy.

 

That's cold.

 

ITS FUNNY THAT CAUSE I THINK THE SAME ABOUT SLINT EYED FIGHTERS
FROM JAPAN, ETC

Bob Fitzsimmons, Jimmy Wilde, Ted Kid Lewis, Joe Calzaghe, Ken Buchanan, etc

 

Not in order fitz, kid lewis, Wilde , lynch , berg, Buchanan , conteh , honeyghan

Calzaghe , benn , lennox,

 

Fitz, Kid Lewis, Turpin, Wilde, Buchanan.Lennox Lewis.

 

Why are some people so bitter, so what we don't have any top 50 ATG's? We're a tiny island, the fact our fighters make even a small impact in world boxing is an achievemment. I don't watch a sport to gloat about my countries achievements, I watch it because I enjoy it. so many posters on this site seem to only watch in the hope someone from a certain nation loses so they can come on here and gloat, bit embarrassing.

 

That's your opinion and your entitled to it

 

Actually lewis was born and lived in london till he was 13

 

Past: Calzaghe

Present: possibly Frampton

 

Past: Bob Fitzsimmons & Lennox Lewis.

Present: George Groves in terms of potential

 

Past: Bruno

Present: Fury

 

If you consider lewis British it's really not a debate. I think it's difficult to make an argument for benn as being great. I don't consider Calzaghe great. Prince nasim probably had the most raw talent of any British boxer, but at the end of the day is a 'could have been'
