Greatest British Boxers of All Time?

[Fox McCloud]

I have no clue about all the old guys, and I must say Lewis was an extremely excellent heavyweight, but do you really think he was a more skilled boxer than JC? I mean some of the things Joe was able to do against Kessler (if no-one else) were absolutely crazy.

I think Lewis is more skilled than Joey Cal honestly.

Lewis had a multitude of styles that he could fight in, which is why he was always piling up rounds on the scorecards.

I know it's just one fight, but... Hopkins made Calzaghe look terrible. It's not a good sign for ATG skills if he can't avoid the one punch that Hopkins has in his arsenal.

Lewis's only downfall was a chin that failed him only twice, and those shots were ****ing flush from real hard ****ers.

Lewis's jab is just sick too.

Lewis was real good for sure, I was watching him against Frank Bruno the other day and it was apparent to me that if he were in his prime today he would lay waste to the HW division.

I have a problem rating HWs as that skilled P4P because for the most part they can't get off their shots with the same variety and intensity as the lower weights, but no doubt Lewis was one of the best.

He is not the greatest fighter from the U.K., but I've always been a big fan of Nigel Benn.

I love fighters who are more dangerous the more danger they are in. Exciting to watch. Plus, he wasn't afraid of America.

Calzaghe is very good at adjusting to styles were he calls his opponents bluff and Kessler said it best, ''Joe is very good at spoiling your boxing.'' problem with Joe is that his styles is shall we say? Rough round the edges?

That was a fine boxing clinic form Calzaghe but Lennox did it more, infact Dr Lennox ran the clinic. Calzaghe was the head nurse.

Haha. Its true Calzaghe can look pretty bad, he's done it in a lot of fights. I'll be amazed however if Lennox Lewis ever turned in as good a performance as that one though. Watch again, you'll see what I mean. To prove me wrong what fight of his do you reccommend? I mean this was a long time ago now, and I was only a boy.

He put a masterclass on against David Tua, but it isn't very exciting..

Calzaghe's performance against Kessler is hard to beat I'll give you that. Calzaghe fought a perfect fight that night.

Benn was great. I remember rooting for him as a kid when he fought Eubank second time, and the point being deducted for the low blow and then the fight being a draw. Talk about gutted!

Anyone who fights the way Benn did deserves to be popular, he was awesome.

Watching a chess player at work requires dedication and focus. You need to have an eye for it.

Lennox was the best chess player ever!

Lewis' destruction of Razor Ruddock was very impressive as well.
