    Who's the best British boxer ever?

    Who do you consider to be the best British boxer of all time? This is a question for non-British boxingscene members, as well as our Brits.

    I think it's Joe Calzaghe...

    What do you think?

    I'd say it's a tie between Calzaghe and Lewis, but Calzaghe will be #1 in my book if he beats Hopkins convincingly.

      Yeah because beating a 44 year old would be his greatest accomplishment.

      Sad but true.

        Close, on ability I would choose Calzaghe, on achievements Lewis.

        If Calzaghe can manage to pull in two or three big name wins before he retires then he would have to be the greatest we have ever produced.

          I agree with this.........

              Since you used the word "ever", I'd say Jimmy Wilde. How can you knock a record of 131-3-2 with 99 KO's?

                If he beats Hopkins and Dawson, then he will be. I dont see the point of this fight anyway Hopkins is way past his best, I expect Calzaghe to dominate him. Calzaghe should'nt fight Jones Jr after this, he should go for Chad Dawson and then he can retire.

                Calzaghe is more talented but he is not there in terms of achievements against Lewis.

                  Make the question "Who's the best British boxer in the last 20 years?" and you'll get more accurate responses.

                    Calzaghe for sure he aint just good he is a special fighter that does'nt come around all that often

                    Lennox was a great Pugilist though beat some great names aswell .
