British Boxers Who Achieved More Than You Thought

Jamie McDonnell

 

Jim Watt
Lloyd Honeyghan
Steve Robinson
Johnny Nelson
Jamie McDonell
Carl Froch
Ricky Burns

 

Burns, Woodhouse, Froch - been following since the Pascal fight and the manner he won against Taylor was just incredible.

Tyson Fury too after seeing him struggle with Mcdermott early on - still hasn't faced anyone his size or at the top of the sport, but I'd never have believed he'd be in line for a title fight after seeing that first fight.

 

Woodhouse is a good shout.

Ricky Burns & Jamie McDonnell for me in recent years.

 

Burns.

 

Has someone really put josh Warrington forward in this question. Deary me

 

Robin Reid

 

Darren Barker, Mcdonnell, Fielding(so far, i thought he would be domestic level)

 

Hall

 

Steve Robinson

started off with many losses to average guys then went onto win world title and 8 defences against good guys.

 

Dennis Andries
Steve Robinson
Clinton Woods
Glen Catley
Terry Marsh
Dave McAuley

 

For me the standouts are Nick Blackwell & Luke Blackledge, neither had an amateur bout but are British & Commonwealth champions respectively - and neither has taken the easy route..!

Also Woodhouse for the age & experience he turned over.

both McDonnell brothers keep improving further than I thought possible.

Ross Burkinshaw ( c.wealth & wbo flip flop) his career was dead in the water not too long back.

 

Good answers.

 

If told a few years ago that Froch would be on most websites and publications pound for pound list, I never would have thunk it.

 

Lennox Lewis?
