Britain's greatest post-war fighters...Your view

Ahead of Ricky Hatton’s welterweight clash with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday, we have decided to take a look at the Britain’s top 10 post-war fighters.

Hatton will hope to add to a fine year of British boxing which saw Joe Calzaghe beat Mikkel Kessler to claim the undisputed super-middleweight crown last month.  But do “The Hitman” and “The Pride of Wales” make our list?

There is certainly a lot of competition and some names have regrettably failed to make our top 10.

Click here to see the list and share your views below. Has anybody been missed out or have we got the order wrong?

[martin]

Amir Khan!

How can Calzaghe be only 4th when he is undefeated and the ones above would never be able to beat Calzaghe and where is Henry Cooper.

[Anthony]

How can you not put Henry Copper in the top ten, the man who beat Clay fair and square.

[baz york]

what about audry harrison

[the cat]

Where is alan minter charlie magri and dave boy green

[carl butchers]

joe calzaghe should be no.1 holding 3 titles and being undefeated for so long .then lewis and benn would be joint second and henry cooper would be 3rd for putting ali on his ass.

[Matt Long]

Doesn't Randolph Turpin deserve to be in there for the sheer fact that he recorded the greatest ever win by a Brit in beating arguably the best pound for pound fighter of all time in Sugar Ray Robinson?! John H Stracey could make a legitimate claim to be in there as well. How can a boxer like Graham that never won a world title even get into the top 10 when you've got umpteen guys who did win global titles missing out?

what a disgrace,eubank,honeyghan,graham, anytime they fought anybody any good they lost. where in the list are freddie mills, howard winstone, john conteh, chris finnegan, alan minter.

herol graham is too high up.
lewis at no.1 is ok even if he realy is a canadian. calzaghe must be no.2 though.
and where is joe bugner (only joking!)

i agree lewis number one but think hatton shoulk be higher than calzaghe

[hassan]

lennox lewis is a top boxer but not number 1, holyfield and tyson were passed there best by a country lane, and wheres bruno, and wheres henry copper, also naseem ahmed was amazing, no1 could ever repeat the footwork he showed and entertainment value he was perfect, a realt peach of a fighter and although he never recovered from the barrera fight should b higher than 8, i knew barrera was amzing before they went to war so there was no disgrace at all losing to him, and eubank should be higher aswell, sorry to critisize really but thats y u ask us our opinion so im giving it :)

All those past British Fighters Cooper,Conteh,Bruno,
and the much underhyped Buchanan all had suspect chins. Hatton has a cast iron chin so he gets my vote for the Hall of Fame. Win or Lose.

[Pete, Lndon]

The best British fighter and no mention of John Conteh! Go Hatton Go.

[Lance manchester]

what about frank bruno? and who's ken buchanan? hatton should be number 1 if he beats mayweather
