If you had beaten Foster in an English title fight then you would have been a contender.

Facey's wins over Macklin and Woolcombe would be enough to put him at the top in my opinion.

Great thread. Like saying who was the greatest landlord of the Dagmar. I'm saying James 'Wilmott' Brown.

Depending on the source, 1 loss in around 300 fights (although most were not solely boxing), no equal.

It is just meant to be based on their English title fights.

Matt "My name is Brian Williams" Skelton IMO

Nigel Wright gets my vote.

If Danny Mc Intosh wins in France than it would be very hard to go against him. He has only lost to Nathan Cleverly.

Nigel Wright seems to be considered the greatest English champion of all time, although McIntosh and Facey run him close.
