Yeh, I know you guys can come up with many fight that Americans beat Britons in, but you can't deny that the list is impressive considering the size difference in our nations. A few victories particularly stand out.Comment

Lennox? Top 20?Let's go through your list:
Lewis - Dominant hw most fans call a top 20 ATG even if he did cheat to beat Vitali
Hamed - One of the best fws of the past 30 years and the reason HBO cared about MAB, Pac, Morales, JMM etc. He paved the way.
Benn - Decent but not great fighter that had a rep for being a dirty fighter
Eubank - Lucky in alot of fights which ended to a good not great Collins
Fitzsimmons - Your great grandfather wasn't alive when he fought ****** to mention him
Buchanan - Lost to an ATG never really did enough to get back to the top
The man is top 10 if I ever saw it. I rank him at 6.Comment
