Brits who were the best in the division (post war)

Post by Jimmy2025 »

Lennox Lewis at heavyweight

Tyson Fury, perhaps, briefly at heavyweight?

David Haye at cruiserweight, or is this debatable?

Joe Calzaghe at super middleweight

Is that it?

Charlie has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, sadly. I hope some people can help.
