Answer 1

Lennox Lewis, Amir Kahn, Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, Charlie Magri, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Junior Witter, Barry McGuigan, and Lloyd Honeyghan. I know some are actually from the UK and not exactly British but thats my list anyway.

Answer 2

I like British boxers because they have class, they are gentlemen.

Answer 3

Don't know that may Brit fighters, but my favorite of all time is "Hammerin'" Henry Cooper.  He knocked Cassius Clay down during their first fight and could have won if not for Dundee's tricks during the round break.  Yet, Cooper had remained humble and very unassuming.

Answer 11

Is there really 10 British Boxers worth Mentioning.... Let the thumbs down begin .... had to get a little stab at the Brits and the Welch for making me lose 20 euros on the fight......

Answer 12

Favourite British boxer - Frank Bruno, for his sheer grit and determination, and for generally being a nice guy.  If he was born a b*****d, he would have world champ several times over.

Best British Boxer - Prince Naseem: he may be a jail-bird these days, but man he had some skills in his day.

Answer 13

Frank Bruno, Henry Cooper, Ricky Hatton, Chris Eubank, Joe Calzaghe, Barry McGuigan, Freddie Mills, Tommy Farr(he went fifteen rounds with Joe Louis), Lennox Lewis and may favourite Nigel Benn

Answer 14

Its really hard for me to put a list like this together as it is hard for me to differentiate between who are the best and who are my favourites but here goes.

1, Lennox Lewis

2, Jimmy Wilde

3, Joe Calzaghe

4, Bob Fitzsimmons

5, Ken Buchanan

6, Ricky Hatton

7, Randolph Turpin

8, Nigel Benn

9, Ted Kid Lewis

10, Prince Naseem Hamed

I would have to say that my personal favourite at the moment would have to be Ricky Hatton with Joe Calzaghe being a close second but if we are talking alltime i would say that Lennox Lewis and Nigel Benn would be my two favourites.

Jack Be Nimble

Jack De Quick

Jack Juma Ove De Canle Stick

1. Bob Fitzsimmons-middleweight-lightheavy-heav...

55-8-16-7 n.d. 48 kayos

2. Lennox Lewis-heavyweight - 41-2-1-32 kayos

3. Naseem Hamed-featherweight - 36-1- 31 kayo's

My personal favorite of them all was Bruno. He had a lot of class and always had an exciting fight.

Benny Lynch would be at the top but he was from Scotland (My family's orgin)

Barry Mcguigan could be in there because he is a British citizen born in Ireland.
