Who Is Your Favourite British Fighter...and why...?

Your right about khan that vulnerability and his power and speed make it a spectacle whatever the outcome.

 

Lewis, Benn, Eubank, Hatton, Haye, and Fitzsimmons.

 

I forgot Bruno! Damn.

 

Bruno fantastic gent and a good fighter just came up short against a very good mike tyson in 86 and lewis in 1993. Thats why we brits like a underdog.

 

Amir Khan. I've always liked him stylistically.

 

Calzaghe, achievements above and beyond any british fighter in recent years with the possible exception of Lennox Lewis.

Longevity, good sense of humour and unlike other English boxers of his day, he didn't lose when he stepped up against P4P talent.

 

I'm not a big calazaghe fan but the only P4P fighter he fought was hopkins and only just won.

 

Michael Watson, as I enjoyed watching him box. Nice defense with the gloves up to block shots, those nice short counter shots. I loved watching him take Nigel Benn to school.

 

Allow me to appoint myself as an ambassador for this dimension. We welcome you peacefully as a visitor from your alternate reality where history obviously took a slightly different turn. Were the Beatles a five piece band in your universe?

 

Yeah and them two fights which he ran eubank close, in the first one he should have got the decision and then in the second was leading up until that vicious uppercut in the 11th round.

 

There was a thread in the brit forum a little while back about the first Eubank watson fight, most of us scored it for eubank. Watson was definitely well in front in the rematch though

 

But what them fights showed with benn as well was that britain had a very good domestic scene in the MW division in late 80's early 90's.:good

 

Right now I like Haye because he brings back excitement in HW division

 

Khan, if he doesn't vacate his belt and fights Maidana
