    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 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 :)

    Carl Frampton, elite level shot selection and ring generalship at his peak.

    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.
