    Mine is Lloyd Honeyghan. I wasn't even born when he was champ, but I've seen all his fight from Silvester Mittee onwards (and some clips of older fights) No British fighter has ever gone over to the USA and beaten arguable the p4p number 1 fighter in the world.

    I would like to seen him fight Breland and Starling in his prime and not when he was clearly past his best.

    Honeyghan is in my top 5.

    John Conteh is my favourite.

    Hatton when was boxing. Although I have went of him very quickly now and lost a lot respect for him. Big Frank or Eubank.

    Don't think he was past his best when he fought Moochy. Starling would have beaten Honeyghan any day of the week.

    Lloyd was a fine fighter though.

    I think we saw the best of Honeyghan pre Jorge Vaca - he never looked the same after their 1st fight imo

    Chris Eubank really got me into boxing.

    But my favourite is still Michael Brodie.

    The guy was pure class. You should definitely watch all the footage available on youtube. One of the greatest British fighters of all time. :good

    John Conteh. And our most talented and capable boxer of all time IMO.
