    I did not consider Fitzsimmons,....... He began his career in Australia, he learnt the Jem Mace method from the great hard man Larry Foley, an Australian, in Australia,..... But he's not ours,....... he is a Kiwi bro.... an All-Black,..... a Warrior,.... a god from the land of the long white cloud...... his parents were English,.... Bob was a New Zealander.... I don't know if he even fought one fight in Britain. --------------------------------------------------------------- So it's still the fabulous Scotsman for me....... love Benny Lynch,... my favourite type of fighter for sure.

                      #1 by far Joe Calzaghe

                      2. Nigel benn ( most entertaining british fighter i've seen )
                      3. LL ( top 3 ATG HW )
                      4. Prince naz (overrated, little bit underrated, pure entertainment and packed a punch )
                      5. Ricky hatton

                      Honorable mentions: Froch and Eubank
