Either Jimmy Wilde or Bob Fitzsimmons (even though he spent little time in the UK, he was born in the UK).

Lewis as of right now probably ranks higher than Calzaghe.

Ask this question in about 5 years time when the Calzaghe hype dies down.

Yes, he's a great champion....but greatest British champ ever??? Please.

Joe Calzaghe All The Time!

Lennox Lewis? I mean seriously?

Frank Bruno was out-jabbing and out-boxing, and Ray Mercer beat him. Oliver McCall knocked him out. Hasim Rahman knocked him out. Holyfield was 10 years past his best, Tyson was 15-16 years past his best. I mean come on.

All of that is very true, but Lewis was still a good boxer.

As I said, for me, London-born Joe Calzaghe just edges it as he has been a World Champion for well over a decade and has beaten the likes of Kessler, Eubank, B-Hop, Reid and Lacy etc. etc.

As much as I love Lewis I am not sure that a Brit who had so many losses during his prime should be thought of as number 1.

calzaghe. superior race for one. undefeated for another. i wont let my lips near lewis' anything. id bury my face in joe

Has anybody else, tripped off the Bull-$h!T this Fa@@oT Said!

BTW, It's Lewis! Calzaghe is very good (maybe great?) but IMO Lennox faced tougher test & when he was K.O.ed he came back and returned the favor to his opponents! I always liked Lewis, even when everyone in the states thought he was soft & gay b/c instead of throwing "bombs" every punch, he used his intellegence & set his opponents up with his long jab & finished them with the right...The Mercer fight showed he had heart!

What the **** is this?!?!?!!?

King Lennox of course.
