Best British Boxer Of All Time?

[D-MiZe]

1. 50th . Joe Calzaghe
2. 55th . Naseem Hamed
3. 62th . Lennox Lewis

I think this is pretty **** on the mark

Why Hamed over Lewis?

[Nuurzhaelan]

I think he picked those from a periodical. Note the apparent rank assignments down to like 62. Most people don't go to that much trouble without getting paid for it.

Either way.

What the **** is Hamed doing higher then Lewis on any list?

[F l i c k e r]

Calzaghe... Undefeated. Beat people with a ****ty style. Beating ATG's with this same ****ty style.

I dont know what is worse. Fighting with the gayest style ever or losing to the gayest style ever?

He never beat them in their primes. The Roy Jones fight was made just for money and Calzaghe had to wait until even a journeyman like Glen Johson beat Jones before he plucked up the courage. He waited for Hopkins to turn 43 and many people still think he lost that in a highly controversial split decision. I think you know all this but I wanted to highlight it anyway so everyone knows he didn't beat not ATG's in their primes and avoided too many elite fighters. Anyone can remain undefeated, I'll just go into a pub and beat up fifty bums! Undefeated doesn't mean much when he hasn't been tested against the best

Lol, I know that. Im just saying though. Its the most horrible style ever. Honestly, have you seen a style like that? How can you possibly lose to it?

[.:PRINCE:.]

A Prime Naseem was literally indestructable, people seem to forget that even top stars like Marquez, Barrera, and Morales all ducked him during this time.

His style is not my cuppa tea either, but you still can't doubt that he has world class ability. I reckon if he took risks he would have earned more. i mean Ricky lost to Floyd but it still eneabled him to get bigger fights. If Joe fought one of them guys in their primes, eh still would have been competitive and probably would have avoided being knocked out. He would have become a household name earlier in his career too. Jones may have damaged him but Hopkins and Toney would have taken points victories allowing him to comeback

Very true and something that people like to ignore. No body wanted Naz when he was on top of his game and they kept having diet shakes. Morales use to openly admit that makjing weight was killing him! When he got bored of the game five years on, they all got brave! IMO he was the most talented Brit, but because of Lennox's acheivements you can't put Naz higher than him. When people get over Naz's dissappearing act though, they will hail him once again! He also deserves credit for bringing attention to them smaller guys and making 'em rich! Should be inducted into HOF by now as his last fight was in 02

[Davros?]

Turpin has the biggest win of any british fighter on his record imo, Robinson was already considered one of the if not the greatest fighter of all time when he beat him.

but what else did he do? Don't forget that robinson fought Turpin at the end of a european tour where he had a few fight and shagged alot of Parisian whores. i'm not saying Turpin ain't good, but I am saying having the biggest scalp does not make him p4p king. i haven't seen enough of him (just his SRR fights and clips) to make a judgement, but he was thoroughly schooled in the rematch. Throwback fighters were more susceptible to bad days at the office, which IMO is what happened to SRR.
