Barring calzaghe who is the best British boxer?

Question

Please give answer for all time and current.

Answer 1

Obviously Ricky Hatton, Britan are very poor in boxing standard, Amir Khan will be killed against Joel Casamayor if he fights him. D'ont get me started on David Haye, What an overratted t**t!!

Answer 2

Answer 3

matter of personal choice but for me Ricky Hatton is a more exciting fighter than Calzaghe has ever been,also he's fought against the worlds best Mayweather and Castillo and been over to the states twice to fight them.The best British boxer,in my opinion, was some years ago now and I think it was John Conteh,former light heavyweight world champion who never lost his title in the ring.Personal difficulties and boxing politics involved and he tried to regain the title and was defeated by Hall of Fame star Mathew Saad Muhammad in 1979..

Answer 4

All time: Henry Armstrong

Now:Joe calzaghe

Barring Joe:Ricky Hatton

Answer 5

Id say that of all time..

Probably Steve Collins or Henry Cooper..

Of today..

Hatton or Witter!

Steve Collins - awesomely powerful fighter, often stunned opponents!

Hengry Copper - A LEGEND, in my eyes, should have beat Ali, but Ali was saved by the bell

Ricky Hatton - AWESOME body puncher, better than Mayweather, just didnt perform on the night

Junior Witter - Good, tought, strong fighter, isnt good enough to step into the ring with Hatton, but he has earned my respect!

Answer 6

I would also have to say amir khan, he won a silver medal at the olympics wich shows how good of a boxer he is. Plus he has ko power. Believe me he's not the type to hide out in europe for years to build his record on unknown fighters.  He is already talking about fighting for a lightweight title and coming to the usa if he has to and he's only been pro a few years. You'll see that he is the future in british boxing.  Calzaghe is overrated! What are his notable wins hopkin's..... and who else....?  Plus I don't think he even won that fight. He was down in round 1 and got hit with the bigger punches of B-hop. Does he even have any power with those slap punches? Overrated  you'll see when he fights roy jones jr.

Answer 11

all time ~ jimmy wilde, the mighty atom. former flyweight champ (recognised as the first fly champion). whose record is either 132-5-2 (101 ko's), or 137-5-2 (99ko's).

today ~ joe calzaghe, 45-0 (32 ko's), champ since '97,

Answer 12

Amir Khan, by far. I have watched him since the last olympics and seen him blossom. Plus he is a young man to be proud of.   I am not related, of the same race, or part of the country and old enough to be his gran but i think he would make a great ambassador for our young people

Answer 13

calzaghe is up there but its Hatton or lewis

Answer 14

All time including Calzaghe....

Henry Cooper

Put Ali down and had the better of him

Answer 15

All time has to be Steve Collins

Current is David Haye

Calzaghe is the best Current boxer and possibly all time although Collins was forced to pull out against Calzaghe due to injury. I believe Collins would have won that though.

Answer 16

Hatton watson benn eubank lewis all great fighters to hard to pick thou.
