Well done to Enzo, but please excuse me if I don't do the moonwalk just yet.

The Euro belts are not what they once were, as are not the domestic ones, sadly.

I still think the British hold some clout. very rarely is the British champion not the best domestically, unless the best has moved onto the world picture

If I had a fighter under my wing, I would dodge the whole 'traditional' route, cos its had its day.

Craigs fav poster! You are well proud of that yeah?

Clev beat a guy who lost in one round in his previous fight for the same Euro belt. So how did Brancalion get a another shot at the title straight away in the first place?

Exactly.

Belts mean **** all nowadays. It's all about competition. And there are few of our 'champs' who have beaten top-notch opposition (be it domestic, European or 'World' class fighters) for their respective titles.

Agree with the general sentiments on this one.

I'm surprised nobody has brought Kell Brook's name into this..... Lonsdale outright despite never facing anyone remotely resembling a top quality fighter.

The best British fighter in each division should hold the title - if they hold world honours, so be it.... the title stays inactive until said fighter loses at that level and is presented with a mandatory defence.

Titles - whether world, regional or national are more valuable when they are contested less often by fewer people. Why else is the Olympic 100m title more important than the Grand Prix athletics circuit?

The most overrated fighter in Britain today. Got big kudos for sparking McIntyre, who has been stopped in the first a few times previously if I'm not wrong.

Brook STILL pulls up with his chin in the air. Patient and fairly accurate, but can't see him having the power on the World scene that bailed Naz out so often.

[Beeston Brawler]

I like him, but agree with everything you say.

All his opponents have very low KO ratios - McIntyre is the biggest and he couldn't get rid of Kevin Anderson who was a sitting duck for 10 rounds in their first fight.

Additionally they've all been sparked at some point.... most of them several times.

Someone with a decent dig and capable of taking a shot would tell us much more about Brook. Even someone limited like Matthew Hatton.

Dont forget Matthew 'the king' Hatton.

Anybody can put 3000 posts, it doesn't mean those points are actually anything more than drivel. So thanks again for your really profound comment I never considered the 'noob' argument when discussing the quality of the euro title. Thanks for coming

Bitch-slapped by a noob !

Brancalion wasn't deserving but I'd argue clev is still the best light heavy in europe

Oh this is new two pointless comments split into two posts. At this rate you'll have 4000. Posts, then I imagine you will be king of the idiots. The moral of the story is that just because you have thousands of hits on a forum it doesn't necessarily mean you have gained knowledge through your endeavours.
