        My only problem with your list is

        Lennox Lewis was born in West Ham, London, England which makes him English. He lived in UK for 12 years then moved to Canada in 1977 where he gained Canadian nationality. He only lived in Canada for 11 years before returning to England at the end of 1988 Olympics in Korea, which means he's lived more of his life in England than he has in Canada and his parents are Jamaican not him.

        Steve Collins was born in Republic Of Ireland which is not part of the UK.

        So why put Collins on it and not Lennox Lewis?

        I would say Calzaghe from your list though!

          Not only is Collins on it twice but he's not even from the UK! Anyway it has to be Lewis and Calzaghe.

                people hype people up so much after a win, regardless of the opposition.
