    Ted 'Kid' Lewis and Jimmy Wilde are the names you hear from an earlier age...

    From recent years you have Ken Buchanan,Naseem Hamed,Lloyd Honeyghan and Lennox Lewis.
    Lewis developed as an amateur in Canadia,though.So he's not totally British..

    Has anybody mentioned Randy Turpin?

            From the old days, Jimmy Wilde and Bob Fitzsimmons stand out. Ted Lewis is up there too.

            Among the modern era, probably Lennox Lewis.

                Before my time, Jimmy Wilde.

                In my lifetime, without a doubt, Joe Calzaghe. Solid chin, never lost a fight, successful for a long time with the most title defenses in British boxing history, and has been a champion in two weight classes.
