    if it wasnt for lennox lewis, no one would care about british boxers.

    hamed, hatton, calzaghe, khan, etc are all above average boxers who arent among the elite, but they get hyped up because england needs something to be proud of. lennox lewis ranks among the elite heavyweights and color commentators of alltime, i cant say the same about the rest. but not saying that another british phenom cant come along.

        Unlike all those guys you mentioned, Lennox Lewis was stopped by a Journeyman.

          Above average? What does it take to be an elite boxer in your eyes?
