Frank Bruno– Admit it, you’re all hearing that laugh inside your heads. Most people forget what a formidable fighter Bruno was. With 38 knockout wins from 40 victories, that’s a 95% knockout rate, one of the highest in boxing history. With the physique more of a body builder than a boxer, he had incredible power, but that extra weight tended to sap his energy late on in fights and became his only flaw.

Nigel Benn– “The Dark Destroyer” was on of the best middleweights this country has ever seen, infamous for his fierce rivalry with Chris Eubank. He had an ability like Mike Tyson to strike fear into his opponents before a match and was one of the most infamous fighters in the world during the 1990’s.

Naseem Hamed– There was and will be simply no one like him. “Prince” Naseem had such style and swagger that just couldn’t be matched. He destroyed opponents and earned a record of 35 – 0 with 31 knockouts. However it was the great Marco Antonio Barrera that dethroned him and ultimately ended his career by teaching a lesson inside the ring back in 2001.

Ricky Hatton– “The Hitman” is one of the most popular boxers in the world today, mainly because of the incredible amount of heart he shows inside the ring. Hatton went undefeated until the great Floyd Mayweather Jr knocked him out in 2007 but he still remains the king of light-welterweights.

Lennox Lewis– “Lennox the Lion” is exactly what he is. One of Britain’s if not the world’s greatest heavyweights. He was and still is a great ambassador for the sport who completely dominated the division, capturing all of the major world titles.

Joe Calzaghe – 46 fights. 46 wins. What more can you say? Only truly great fighters can go undefeated throughout an entire career. After making the super-middleweight division his, Joe then beat Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr, there was simply nothing left for “The Pride of Wales” to achieve, outstanding.
