    Lewis
    Eubank
    Benn
    Hamed

    Cant actually think of any outside of Lewis that I really liked that much. Eubank and Hameds personalities grated on me, I will a little young to fully appreciate both Benn and Eubank too. Booth brothers because they were quite local to me I guess.

    Hamed
    Khan
    Eubank
    Benn
    Bruno

    Not in order.

    IMO these are the UKs best (or at least most loved) boxers.

    I think Hamed is our best treasure though. He gave such great entertainment and even though he trash talked beyond belief, showed grace in his one defeat.

    1. Kostya Tszyu
    2. Vic Darchinyan
    3. Michael Katsidis
    4. Jeff Fenech
    5. Paul Briggs

    Honourable mention: Daniel Geale

    Danny Green and Anthony Mundine are probably are more famous ones from this era, but they destroying the very sport they helped revive in Australia in the noughties with rubbish fights.

    Should also mention Lionel Rose; he has one of the more fascinating stories as a Australian championship boxer.
