Terry Downes faced more than a few few good 'uns.
Maybe a mention for Bugner as well?

Yup... I'm riding with Kell Brook ... Easily the best one so far.

But I think honorable mention should be Lennox Lewis, if you consider him a Brit as I do... Vitali Klitschko, Evander Holyfield, and Mike Tyson.

He was younger than Lewis -- and had the opportunity to face Lewis many times when he was younger... He was too smart for that.

Lacy? How long was he champ and how many title defenses? ... He beat Robin Reid and Syd Vanderpool for his top wins I believe.

And Roy Jones??? ... Jones was so gone when he fought Calzaghe it wasn't even funny anymore. People laughed and applauded when Tarver knocked him out.. By the time he fought Calzaghe they just cringed and prayed.

Fitz is pretty impressive.- Jeffries, Corbett and Dempsey, Jack Johnson too though Fitz so far from what he was it wasn't much of a fight at that point.

Hatton might have it- Mayweather Pacquiao and Tszyu

Beat me to it on Fitz, Hattons would win hands down if Tszyu was closer to his prime

Please... Everybody knew Roy was history after Glen Johnson beat the crap out of him -- and then laid him out cold for several minutes..
