[@SuperMuneera]

Calzaghe didn't fight the elite in their prime. Lewis didn't fight Tyson in his prime but he fought plenty of others at their best. Being undefeated has to be put it into context. Who did they fight? When did they fight them? How did they win each fight? Andre Ward totally outclassed a world class fighter in Froch and would have beaten Calzaghe if they fought in the same era. Roy Jones JR a few years before their fight would have won easily. Hatton is the only one who fought his opponents in their prime.

@@SuperMuneera Hatton got stopped on both occasions he fought the two best fighters on his resume. Mayweather and Pacquiao. Lewis couldn't fight Tyson in his prime it was impossible. Tysons prime is regarded as being between 85/89. Lewis didn't turn pro until 1989. When Tyson lost to Douglas in February 1990, Lewis was a 7 fight novice still fighting 6 rounders.

@@psychoticpurse6579 yes his opposition was not that great. But truth is that he was so good he earned mils before becoming world champ.

Naseem is the former undisputed featherweight champion of the world. He brought in heavyweight attraction to such a low division, and he made boxing easy and fun to do.

For me Joe Calzaghie is the best boxer Britain as had in my lifetime. Floyd Mayweather gets all the credit in the world for retiring undefeated but when it comes to Joe Calzaghie the yanks dismiss him. They also berate Joe for fighting at home for most of his career, but not the likes of Mayweather and Ward for fighting EXCLUSIVELY at home. Did Calzaghie spend too much of his career defending one belt? Yes but that wasn't his fault and even at the end of his career he beat some elite guys and a couple of legends. Just imagine what he could've done in his prime if Frank Warren would've let him off his leash. Joe beat everyone he faced and retired an undisputed 2 weight world champ 46-0

And even if he went after other belts others would have avoided him bit like Donnie nietes situation, nobody wants good fighters !

[@Daveyboyz1978]

I'd go Joe Calzaghe... Simply because his work rate and style. He never stopped throwing despite his broken hands. Lewis had a great and well managed career but I favour the more aggressive style.

[@damiantosd8720]

Some great debate here. I struggle with this one. We have produced some world beaters.

[@DavidByrne85]

Jimmy Wilde

[@marknorris1381]

Head and shoulders above the rest.

[@karlparratt1730]

Longest unbeaten run in boxing? Legend that doesn't get the recognition he should

[@pokeybloke7237]

Calzaghe every time! 💫💥👍🎩

[@tiltol8349]

All of them great in there own divisions went to America represented there country so respect to all of them ✊🏽 💯

[@MO-eu3ek]

one person who gets overlooked alot is Randy Turpin, he may not be the best but he definitely deserves a honorable mention. He beat Sugar Ray Robinson in his prime and was one hell of a boxer himself. Definitely needs to be mentioned more in conversations involving british boxing

[@mitchtheboss5730]

Agree British fighters Ken Buchanon. John Conteh

[@pugilistking5606]

Lennox Lewis.

[@ReesZzz]

How Benn wasn’t mentioned...

[@davegonnaway6007]

Benn was great

[@davegonnaway6007]

@Luke Reid what a slugger he was though he could box he just loved a tear up what he was great at

[@davegonnaway6007]

@Luke Reid fair enough he was no leonard or roy but I loved him one of my faves

[@piratezippy]

all recent boxers. just to throw a few names not in there. Lloyd Honeygan was a class act in the ring. Dennis Andres, johnny nelson. Duke Mckenzie 3 weight divisons world champion, Tommy Farr and Ken Buchanan need a mention. As does Randolph Turpin

[@zahideahmed3069]

I would have giving it to Joe Calazage if he won a World titel at light heaveyweight so il go with Lenox Lewis

[@MrLeoMessio]

Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury

[@richardbrown74]

Oh come on . It has to be audley Harrison suerly lol

[@paulanthony5274]

Got to be Fraudley

[@swiftlessytvlogs5637]

I mean Peter Buckley has definitely got to be up there no question!

[@steo4344]

Fought everyone. Lost. Got up. Lost. Got up. Lost Whats more British than that

[@hobbitguy9933]

Your joking? It's got to be David price!

[@Librazhd76]

Surprise nobody mention his name 🤔

[@kevindavidge]

I remember Frank Warren answering this question. He said something like 'Joe's record speaks for itself. Calzaghe is the best Britain has ever produced.' I agree with him. I would say Naz is the most entertaining and would have been regarded as the best if he had beaten Barerra. Lennox is not quite number one but he's right up there. I think the most inspiring are Bruno and Fury.

[@jackyjacobs3890]

Got to have in no particular order but a few British greats - joe calazaghe , naz, Lennox , Ricky Hatton ,frank bruno , Henry Cooper,froch and Tyson fury

[@ocnbxng5038]

Who the hell is Carl Froch

[@-NemoMeImpuneLacessit]

A very tough fighter who got better as his carrier progressed right up to the end.

[@davidbouse7924]

Calzaghe missed a trick when Haye was HWC. Calzaghe could have beat him and retired HWC. That would have been something

[@jasonmillar4673]

1 - Jimmy Wilde 2- Lennox Lewis 3- Joe Calzaghe

[@A.R.B.J.]

It us without a doubt Joe Calzaghe. He was an undefeated world champion, NONE of the other boxers in the conversation can make the same claim.

[@Bill-Butcher]

Calzaghe for me.... but Naz had the potential to have been the greatest.

[@Joker-bg8kk]

Let’s be honest, Lennox Lewis is not a British fighter. I’d say he is more like a British born Canadian fighter.

[@staffh3815]

Born and lived in London till he was 12 .?

[@dsavage6618]

@@staffh3815 he’s Jamaican

[@iseekq]

Audley Harrison. He was fantastic in Big Brother - faced some tricky opponents. The Emile Heskey of boxing. Legend.

[@paulevans3754]

😂

[@Stunl3y]

Calzaghe probably shades it , Lewis a very close second I loved watching Naz and Nigel Benn but we shouldn't forget boxers like Randolph Turpin, Ken Buchanan

[@joe80ss]

Eubank and Benn come on.

[@dyschromotopia]

eubank? steer clear of anything related to boxing

[@Carl-ul9yi]

Joe calzaghe

[@jamncos]

Bruno and benn have to be the most loved British fight. Nobody hates them. CALZAGHE is the best British fighter.

[@IvorBrynMike]

Joe Calzaghe was my neighbour when he 1st turned pro gotta support anyone from Newbridge

[@ThereWillBePeace1]

Naz (Top Enterrainer) and Fury (Skills)

[@Carl-fp6xt]

Joe Calzaghe, one of the best boxers of all time, never mind in Britain. 46-0. Say no more.

[@atomsk1972]

This video leaves no doubt that there isn't just one.

[@iainglen5390]

I’m 33 and in my lifetime.....Joe Calzaghe but in 10 years that may change to Tyson Fury
