    Chris Eubank before the second Watson fight, after that he was never the same.

    Lewis might well be the H2H GOAT at his weight. No other British fighter on that list comes close to claiming that in a weight class as established as heavyweight.

    Very hard to chose between Lennox and Joe. Love them both.

    naseem hamed for entertainment


    joe calzaghe for achievements

    lennox lewis cannot be included in this list for reasons nmentioned. he fought for canada in the olympics and he learned how to fight in north america

    why didnt you include chris eubank, he also learned how to fight in america butvat least he is not confused about being britt

    Surprised Eubanks name wasnt one of the suggestions.

    I would probably go with Calzaghe first, then Lewis, possibly Hamed/Eubank third

    Clearly Lewis and it isn't even close to be honest.

    easily lewis.
    maybe hamed next, only came unstuck against an ATG, but sadly didn't continue much beyond that so perhaps not. eubank would be a suitable alternative but again he lost his soul to Watson, that may as well have been a defeat.

    Lennox Lewis for me. i remember him being the only boxer i cared about watching as a kid when the whole family would sit down to watch him.

    I love the irony.

    Lewis was BORN in England, and spent a large chunk of his childhood here before emigrating to Canada, and you consider him Canadian ?

    Yet you consider the likes of Macklin, and countless others Irish, even though they were born in the UK ?

    It must be right what they say about the Irish.
