Between Bruno and Hatton I'd say from those. Considering Hatton broke the post war attendance record as well taking a crazy number to Vegas I'll say him. Bruno had good support overseas but not like that.

A toss up between Bruno and Hatton, really. Been a solid third place, Hamed next, and Calzaghe certainly bottom of the pile.

Do you mean personal favourite or the ones we think were the most popular? Bruno was the biggest household name due to his crossover appeal. Hatton had the biggest fanbase within the sport in Britain due to style and Everyman persona appealing to football fans.

My personal favourite is by far lennox lewis, followed by chris eubank.

i eman the most popular in general when they boxed, compared to others

coxy woulda done eubank but i feel he was a v popular boxer but also a anti hero if you know what i mean, more loved at the end when people saw how gritty he was in his twilight career losses. for me anyway

Eubank is an odd omission. What about 'arry Cooper? Sod it-my vote goes to Terry Marsh.

Why is Lennox Lewis not mentioned? He was arguably the best of that group if not the most popular.

Think he was confusing Henry Cooper with Harry Carpenter. Easy mistake to make Whistle

Lewis was never popular. Probably because most saw him as using his british roots as one of convenience.

As an impartial poster..I'd have to say I was amazed by bruno's popularity and transition in your country..

For me he's miles ahead..
