Joe Calzaghe..

Yes I'd have to go for Lennox Lewis. He's probably my favourite British fighter of all time, if Joe Calzaghe wins against a few more big names then I would say he was in with a shout.

Joe Calzaghe is the best British fighter of all time.

Lewis. Easy.

You can't say Joe is until his career is finished, if he loses to Hopkins his legacy is ****ed

On his fight with Pete Herman

Wilde gave his all and then some, referee Jack Smith eventually calling a halt in the 17th round with the famous words:"I'm sorry, Jimmy; I have to pick you up because you don't know how to lie down."

I like that
