    best, most talented, most respected british boxer??

    Who do people in America and the rest of the world think is the best, most talented, most respected british boxer in britain at the moment.

    I think most respected will be Wayne McCullough.

    But for the best and most talented i'm unsure because people from other countries seem to have different opinions to us Brits.*

    Danny Williams, Ricky Hatton, Johnny Nelson, Joe Calzaghe, Robin Reid, Howard Eastman, Junior Witter, Michael Gomez, Alex Arthur, Scott Harrison, Michael Brodie, Wayne McCullough, Damaen Kelly, David Barnes, Enzo Maccarinelli, Carl Froch

    I personally don't respect any of those fighters mentioned. While I never liked any british fighter except for The Prince, I always respected Lennox Lewis, even though I hated him.

        Who the **** are these guys?

        Ricky Hatton, I spar with better opposition than he fights. Howard Eastman, hasn't fought anyone of note. Danny Williams, one hit wonder. Junior Witter, top ten 140 lber who fights nobodies. Michael Brodie, protected and garbage. Wayne McCullough hasn't beaten anyone in years. Joe Calzaghe, sucks.

            Maybe Ring Magazine should rank me at 140.

                What have any of these overprotected, over glorified club fighters done to get my respect? I suppose Danny Williams is one of the greats following his massacre of Iron Mike? Or how about Michael Brodie's collapse at the hands of In-Jin Chi? British fighters over the years have been more hype than substance. Sure a 38-0 record looks good, but when you amass it against the british circuit, what does it matter? Until England stops producing fighters like Herbie "The English Muffin" Hide and Frank Bruno, I will with hold my subscription to BBC. Ali G and The Prince kick ass, though!

                  Nothing to impress you, but there are a lot of over protected, over hyped US fighters who are the same to me. I'd just like to see the fighters in the same ring, just to prove who's the best.

                    Yes, but we don't make them national icons.
