    Why are you such a bitter and spitful little man?

        I agree with Buchanan, Naz is too high.

              Frank Bruno, greatest British heavyweight ever, he`d have beaten Lewis but he was roobed by an early stoppage. He gave Tyson his toughest fight ever up to that point in his career and defeated the fearsome Oliver McCall to win the world title. His record littered with big time heavyweights such as Jumbo Cummings, James Tillis, Jesse Freguson. Its like roll call of the hall of fame.
              By far and away the best of British!
              maybe the hall of fame of bum are you dilusional man you have to be kidding me Fergison and Tills and oliver mcCall is fearson, stop hand the pipe back to oliver and think about what you just posted

                Ken Buchanan gets my vote for top dog.

                But I'd put Barry Mcguigan in next. He beat one of the greatest ever-- Eusebio Perdroza, who still holds the record for the most number of title defenses in the Featherweight class at 19 successful defenses. The "Clone Cyclone's" failed defense against the "Super Kid," Steve Cruz, in Las Vegas, was 1986 Fight of the Year. Before meeting Cruz he had lost only once-- in his third pro fight, to Peter Eubank, on points (8)--then, lost only once more after the Cruz fight: his final outing, against Jim McDonell (TKO4). His last fight was the only time he was stopped. He retired with a record of 32-3 with 28 KOs.

                Ricky Hatton might just wrest the top spot on my list, if...

                  Lennox Lewis was a great fighter. He might be one of the 10 best fighters to come from America, but he's certainly not one of the 10 best from Britain. It's hugely insulting to suggest that Lennox Lewis is the best ever English fighter, when every sane person knows that Ted 'Kid' Lewis is by far the best ever English fighter.

                  When you've got Bob Fitzsimmons, Jimmy Wilde, Ted 'Kid' Lewis, Jack 'Kid' Berg, Benny Lynch, Ken Buchanan, Freddie Welsh, Jim Driscoll, Randy Turpin etc, then Lennox Lewis does not belong in that company..

                  Jack 'Kid' Berg is a better English fighter than Lennox Lewis, he was the first man to beat the legendary Kid Chocolate (Sugar Ray Robinson's idol), and Owen Moran is a better English fighter than Lennox Lewis for crossing the Atlantic and knocking out the great Battling Nelson as well as a pair of draws with the great Abe Attell.
