    My favourites from the past are Benn, Hamed and Buchanan.

    My current favourite is Haye. He's exciting, charismatic, has genuine ko power as well as a vulnerable chin. That usually guarantees excitement.

    All time Lloyd Honeyghan, why because I remember when he stopped a prime donald curry.

    Right now, Khan, he has the best potential of any Uk active fighter

    All time : Hatton Why :

    All action relentless style , like able character , and broke the mould of the Frank Warren grip on top class British boxer's !!!!!

    I like the kids style , he's a fighter / puncher , really well rounded fighter and has balls i mean a lot of balls !!!!!!!!!!!

    hmmmm, Haye has the potential to go down as an ATG in English fighting history.

    Khan has great skills but i think he's too chinny to take risks and rage war.

    i love all english fighters i really do. but if i had to choose.

    All Time = Hamed, the guy was dominant in his division and he backed up the hype

    Current = Haye, two weight champ, unified one division and is in his prime right now in the heavyweight divison. he backs up the hype by destroying opponents, aside from valuev but he was huge. Plus i love the trash talk.

    "a ukrainian and an american fighting in a country famous for toblerones"

    "klitschko can wanna be big in switzerland, but yoddlers are big an switzerland and noone wants to see them box"

    gott love the guy

    Nigel Benn.


    The Barkley and McClellan fights alone would be enough, but then there's the pair of fights with Eubank and the Watson fight, and the wins of world titles overseas, and the 100% KO streak to kick off his pre- world-class career, and the WBC title run, and the rest of it!

    Christ he fought guys like Sanderline Williams and Robbie Sims in non-title fights and they were better than 99% of Calzaghe's world title opponents.

    That's why

    The Dark Destroyer hands down.

    At this moment in time, probably Haye.

    Lloyd Honeyghan is my all time favourite Brit along with Naz.

    Favourite current Brit is David Haye because of his charisma and his ability to be argued over in thousands of ESB threads.

    Lennox and the dark destroyer. Don't have a current favorite since Froch vs Dirrel happened.

    of Today Amir Khan and Hatton if he is still boxing.

    Of all time Prince Naseem, Lennox, and I used to hate Calzaghe but when he beat Lacy I started liking him because I thought he was all hype and protected, and I became more of a fan when he beat Hopkins. He retired too soon though
