Love Toney, but despite his personna outside the ring I wouldn't describe him as aggressive, his style was too slick for that and there were plenty of occasions where he was happy to box his way to decision wins.

Great calls mate. He was such a temperamental fighter wasn' t he? When he was in the mood he could be absolutely spiteful, but other times he seemed content to go through the motions.

Ye so true,would of loved to have seen the "in the mood" James Toney vs Roy Jones in 1994. James Toney vs Samuel Peters 1 was a war too but the 2nd fight at stages it looked like peters could stop him. He was scared of no man and i used to love his rants in interviews with Elie Seckbach

Smokin' Joe Frazier was aggressive as hell. Non-stop pressure and punches.

I love Jack and named my youngest Harrison after him.

Joseph Parker's dad is Dempsey Parker, named after Jack

Were strickly takling about most aggressive British fighters ?
I would say Freddie Mills was much more aggressive then the average British fighter.
so was Tommy Farr.

Paul Hodkinson is a Brit that springs to mind for me.
Honeyghan also went from a boxer to an aggressive fighter once he gained a world title, banging out the likes of Hatcher and Bumphus, but coming unstuck against Starling because of that all-out aggression.

Stanley Ketchel was no slouch when it came to being aggresive.

Nigel Benn stands out amongst British boxers

Middle-weight Champion Mickey "the Toy Bulldog" Walker was known to have been an aggressive fighter.

The Toy Bulldog

Dempsey, Hagler, Benn, Tyson, Chavez, Marciano, Arguello....

Barry Mcguigan
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr
Ray Mancini
George Foreman
Jerry Quarry

Nicknames used to be so much more imaginative

Michael Katsidis - he got a ton of early KOs

Hatton. Brilliant aggressive footwork - exceptional at closing distance.

yeah he was very good at switching angles with his feet earlieri n his career too

Yep, great call.

Aaron Pryor was very aggressive, especially early in his career. I always imagine him in with Roberto Duran or with Manny Pacquiao, at 140.

He was capable of pressing, at his best he was a counterpuncher. I'd say Armstrong, Micky ward and hatton worth a shout.

Henry Armstrong was some fighter

“Two Ton” Tont Galento.

Plenty of past fighters. What about present?

LSC
Spence
Hurd
Berchelt
Nery
Wangek
