    Who has the best resume out of Brit's?

    Say, of the last 16 years..

    Nigel Benn? Iran Barkley, Robbie Sims, Doug DeWitt, Mauro Galvano, Chris Eubank (rematch, robbed), Gerald McClellan.

    Chris Eubank? Nigel Benn, Michael Watson, Graciano Rocchigiani.

    Lennox Lewis? Mike Tyson, Razor Ruddock, Evander Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko.

    Naseem Hamed? Kevin Kelley, Tom Johnson, Wilfredo Vasquez, Cesar Soto.

    Joe Calzaghe? Chris Eubank, Charles Brewer, Byron Mitchell, Jeff Lacy.

    Ricky Hatton? Kostya Tszyu.

    well calzaghe and hatton are just gettin started, so they have plenty of room to improve their resumes. I think lenox lewis has the most "impressive" resume out of those.

      Well, lets hope so.

      Calzaghe has two or three left, and Hatton maybe three or four. Let's hope Calzaghe fights Wright and/or Taylor, and Hatton fights Mayweather. I doubt the fights will happen though, just like Benn/Jones Jr and Lewis/Bowe never happened, like Toney/Eubank and Mayweather/Hamed. The fights never do happen

        nigel, and its not even close. he gave watson, eubank and collins their toughest fights in their primes, and spectacular fights with iran barkley and gerald mcclellan coming out on top. only guy to knock down dewitt (hagler's spar partner as a teen) and only guy to knock down sims (hagler's half-brother and spar partner). nigel benn, for sure for me. he never ducked anybody.

            Who was best, the answer would be Lewis. Best resume, however, belongs to Benn.... just barely. But I have no problem with the opinion that Lewis might.

                    How has Calzaghe's career come even close to Lewis's? Lewis was the unified Heavyweight champion of the ****ing world for years. Calzaghe has been fighting out of his hometown against relatively weak opposition for the majority of his career, having just recently finally collected another belt.

                    Lewis > Calzaghe (at this point. I sincerely doubt Zag will do enough in what's left of his career to surpass Lewis, but there is a slight, slight chance)
