    Hatton's wins are underrated, but Calzaghe for me.

        Do you really have to ask?

        One guy has more title defenses than everyone else put together.
        One guy has disposed of more legends than the rest put together.

        Damn I miss zags!

          I voted Audley Harrison for a laugh.

          In reality Calaghe is my choice

          But Carnivore, how can you have Danny Williams etc on this list and not Lewis?

            Joe Calzaghe because hes the best british fighter of all time. He never lost, he defended his title almost two dozen times, he owned the SMW division. I see no way you could say he is not. Hatton is second, but Hatton getting beat twice in the two biggest fights of his career cost him that consideration. Obviously Hattons 2 biggest fights were bigger than anything Joe was in, but Hatton lost both of them convincingly and thus doesnt really get credit for them. The only thing you can criticize Joe for is possibly not fighting Jones and Bhop earlier in the decade and possibly not taking on a few specific fighters, but then you are just speculating. Based on what he accomplished it has to be Joe.

              Lennox Lewis is Jamaican, isn't he? And he represented Canada in the Olympics, and now lives in the US.

                      I like Lewis a lot but even if you consider him to be full British, I think Calzaghe still gets the nod over him this decade. Im beginning to question if even a prime Roy Jones(without roids of course) could deal with Zags awkward style.
