Who is greater - Lennox Lewis or Joe Calzaghe?

BF Assassin... good choice.

Could argue he was only born in the UK but he was British Born. Similar to Fitzsimmons.

Then there's Freddie Welsh who was a great fighter from Wales.

All old timers but all great fighters are great resumes. I'd have all of those above Lewis and Calzaghe myself.

I'd consider having Ken Buchanan above Calzaghe. I think it's close.

[LacedUp]

I would say Jimmy McLarnin.

What about modern UK greatest?

[UTEP]

The B-Hopacutioner!

What about modern UK greatest?

Lewis by quite a margin.

[LacedUp]

Lewis by quite a margin.

OK- I agree with that.

[E-Thug]

Lewis all day every day. Joe is grossly overrated.

[boliodogs]

I voted for Joe. He never lost a fight and had a huge number of successful world title defenses and he beat Jones and Hopkins. I would have voted for Lewis but he lost two fights by getting knocked out early. He reversed those two losses but that does not make them disappear.

[SthPaw]

Lennox Lewis

[marvelousmatt]

IMO one of them is possibly an UK GOAT.

Which one you choose and why?

No disrespect to Joey G. but Lewis is a top 5 ATG,easy pick. Lennox just had way better competition that was willing to fight him. Joey G is an ATG as well but Lennoz has better resume.

[TGD]

A lot of respect for Lewis, ATG heavyweight in my opinion, but Calzaghe is P4P the best fighter to come out of the UK.
