    Lennox and Ricky both have my utmost respect.

    David Haye is still unproven (at HW) and I won't take him seriously as a Heavyweight until he impresses me. Fighting a guy who lost to Joe Mesi isn't exactly the best way to get my respect.

      Michael Watson is somewhat of a favorite of mine.

          I'm a huge Lennox fan. Guys like Eubank and Benn were great fighters as well. I am a fan of Haye however he does have to prove himself at HW yet. Definatley have a huge amount of respect for Joe Calzaghe and what he has achieved. Not the biggest Ricky Hatton fan but that has nothing to do with his nationality.

            I wouldn't necessarily call it "such a small country".

              Britain have some great fighters Calzaghe and Hatton are my two favorite though, dont really rate David Hayes, good boxer, but i think all he relies on is power. Another person is Frankie Gavin great as an amateur but i dont think he will make it at welterweight(?) as a pro.

                  Ok. I'm talking Britain, which I don't consider small. Its population is over 60 million right?

                    Britain has produced possibly the greatest fighter of the past 15 years, although he's still underrated by Americans: Joe Calzaghe.
