H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 country leaderboard

Best British boxers of all time

Lennox Lewis leads the Score list, with Joe Calzaghe and Bob Fitzsimmons close enough to make the order worth arguing about.

This is the home of the best British and English boxers of all time in the H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0, from Joe Calzaghe and Lennox Lewis to Naseem Hamed and Tyson Fury. It reflects the reliable UK nationality rows in the current export; some British and English fighters tagged to individual home nations are still being folded in.

Country pages are only generated where the profile export has at least five reliable country rows. Missing country metadata is not guessed.

Read this with care

H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 is a fixed public release, not a live database. A fighter can top one of these lists and still rank lower overall. The all-time score blends several things: how good they were in their fights, how far ahead of their rivals they stood, how tough their opponents were, their title record, and how long they stayed near the top.

For disputed placements, use the fighter page, methodology page and corrections process rather than treating one number as the whole argument.
