Current: Crolla

All time: Froch, Calzaghe and Reid

Now - Tyson Fury simply because he's stark raving barmy but he makes me laugh.

All Time - Joe Calzaghe - One of the greatest and most under-rated fighters ever.

Don't really have one now but quite like Crolla. Frampton is decent to watch, seen him a few times live. Froch was always good to watch.

Obvious ones like Carl Thompson, Benn and Hamed were ones I always watched. To a lesser degree, domestically Crawford Ashley, Wharton and Ross Hale. Maybe guys like Schwer etc.

All the obvious ones like Froch, Calzaghe, Benn and Lennox....but also thought Chris Pyatt and Hoko were great to watch and Scott Harrison was fun whilst it lasted. Scott is the guy who could have possibly done great things. Also liked Gary Mason.

Good shout about Simmo. I said hello to him the other day. Works in Aldi over this way. Not sure if he's retired or not. Keep meaning to ask him.

Also i used to love watching Jason Booth

I used to like Booth too. What a boxer. I saw him fight once and he can punch all of his 9 stone.

Amir Khan

Henry Wharton and Graham Fearn. Non friends? Early Tyson, he got me addicted to the game when I was young, yet I've been a huge critic of his,,,

Danny Williams. Some ups and downs but a great journey.

DANNY WILLIAMS !

All time favourite bar none.

Not of all time as things stand no. He's my current favourite. I grew up in awe of Benn and Eubank but my favourite as a boy was Naz. After that Scott Harrison was pretty big up here and I was a fan.

Of all time I'd probably have to go with Calzaghe though.

I think it's different as you get a bit older. There's lots of coverage on nowadays and you can sometimes follow a fighters whole career more or less and to see them go from the early stages of their career to world champion is pretty special.

i just watched bruno vs mccall on BN a fight to remember and it's easy to forget how loved frank was and it was still a nervous watch 20 years on

Fair Dinkum.

I love the bloke, proper warrior, but he's not even the best British Super Middle of his era.

And, in my humble opinion, Calzaghe ain't even the best Welsh fighter of all time

I watched that fight on Double Doves. Highly recommended.

Surely you're not going to say Froch was better? There's no doubt in my mind that Calzaghe would've comprehensively out boxed Froch over 12 rounds.

No, quite the opposite. I'm saying that Froch wasn't even the best Supermiddle of his era. That accolade belongs to Calzaghe.

And Calzaghe isn't the best Welsh fighter of all time.

And again, this is nothing against Froch. He's f*cking brilliant

You said Calzaghe wasn't best smw of his era

I'm confused

I had initially said Carl Frampton was my fav fighter not Froch?

i like Ricky burns a lot , but it will have to be ricky hatton even though his fighting style was not great but Ricky was
