Pre-World War II there were many great British champions. Since then there have been fewer but champions like Lennox Lewis, Ken Buchanan, Joe Calzaghe, Naseem Hamed, Barry McGuigan, Chris Eubank, John Conteh, Randy Turpin and others have represented their country well.

Ted "Kid" Lewis, Jimmy Wilde, Freddie Welsh, Jack "Kid" Berg, Bob Fitzsimmons (if you count him as British) were of course legendary.

nope none of them are the best ever. they where not atgs or anything but they where all great or good and well known fighters but they will NEVER get the respect from the americans.
