Greatest British Boxers of All Time?

[RiZOOM]

Wilde? Calzaghe? Lewis?

Please give your opinions.

I love the name by the way.

I think the consensus is that Wilde is the best.

150 fights only 3 losses. That'd do it.

I wanted to vote for Lennox or Joe but I voted for the oldtimer. Not too many on here would remember him so Joe and Lennox will receive more than enough votes.

I'm not going to lie... Lewis has a really ****ing good resume too. I think it is easily better than Joey Cal's any day of the week.

He fought a lot of really good fighters, and beat everyone he was ever in the ring with, which is really impressive. It's not often that a fighter retires with 2 losses, but is seen as undefeated, because both losses were considered flukes, and he proved that with dominating victories in the rematches.

You make excellent points. How many fighters can say they beat every single of the fighters they ever fought? Let alone when your resume includes Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.

Joe is still solidifying his resume , though it's not as bad as some of you chaps think. Joe defeated almost every guy of significance at 168 , at least those that would fight him.

They actually talked about this during a recent HBO fight, but it was just with heavyweights...

Ingemar Johansson is on there... even though he was 1-2 against Floyd Patterson, so I don't know if that can actually count as beating everyone he fought, since he lost 2 and only one 1.

Rocky Marciano obviously.

Lewis obviously.

Gene Tunney only lost once to Harry Greb, but beat him 3 other times.

Sven Ottke obviously.

Ricardo Lopez obviously.

If Mayweather stays retired, he will be here.

Calzaghe will likely end up there if he is going to fight people like Jones instead of Pavlik (not meant to be hate, just saying, he should probably beat the rest of the older legends that he has talked about fighting).

Other than that, idk who else there could/would be.

Not exactly bad company for Lewis to find himself compared to.

Where is Ted lewis on your list?

Where is Ted lewis on your list?

You're absolutely correct.

Forgive me for my ignorance.

I should have put Kid Lewis on the list but he completely slipped my mind. My apologies to the English chaps.

Great fighter.

[Silencers]

Jimmy Wilde IMO.

Ignorance my ass... I had to look up who Ted Lewis was, as well as John Conteh and Freddie Mills.

I'd say you've got a pretty damn good grip on British boxing legends... and you just forgot him... it's not like you had to be informed who he was. I'm impressed that you came up with 10 British fighters that can be considered great, because I couldn't have (not a knock on the British, just a knock on my still very limited knowledge of the history of the sport).
