Btw what I have missed over here lately, posters getting banned....posters leaving...... & in all seriousness pretty much the names that've been mentioned already, Froch Eubank Hatton Naz & Calzaghe
Great List but I take off Jamie Moore who was a good British level watch and add Lennox Lewis, Haye at Cruiser, Scott Harrison, Josh Taylor, Ricky Burns pre Jaw Break and Carl Frampton.
I'd go for something like 01 - Michael Watson 02 - Lennox Lewis 03 - Ken Buchanan 04 - Benny Lynch 05 - Freddie Welsh 06 - John Conteh 07 - Ted Kid Lewis 08 - Jim Watt 09 - Frank Bruno 10 - Chris Eubank
I was going to join this thread and wracking my brains on fighters I've actively watched... but you'd have to be about 100 to see Kid Lewis in his prime so if it's going on reputation and reading / videos, I might have to rethink
My lifetime would be: 01 - Michael Watson 02 - Lennox Lewis 03 - Frank Bruno 04 - Chris Eubank 05 - Carl Froch 06 - John Simpson 07 - Scott Harrison 08 - Ricky Burns 09 - Gary Mason 10 - Chris Billiam-Smith
Fav is Froch. Closely followed by Burns pre jaw broke as has been mentioned, John Murray, J simpson, eunbank snr and Naz. Loved all those guys
Really? Cool! How did he get on? One of the stalwarts of Friday Fight Night This content is protected
OK so a rough top 10 but purely fighters in my time I made sure to watch when they were on TV, ordered by how much I wanted to see them at the time: 1. Chris Eubank (Sr) 2. Naseem Hamed 3. Carl Froch 4. David Haye 5. Josh Taylor 6. Anthony Joshua (pre-Klitschko) 7. Nigel Benn 8. Frank Bruno 9. Joe Calzaghe 10. Terry Marsh
Heritage doesn't play a part for me as an adult, but as a preteen in the States from Welsh and Scottish stock, I was drawn into those who were boxing at the time I was growing up like Calzaghe and to a lesser extent Harrison, Arthur, Burns, Piper, Jones. British boxing just has so many personalities. I spent one whole summer in the UK, most of which in Glamorgan, but toured much of the rest. Man, it was awesome. The summer of 2012.
