Worse UK fighters that did win a title

hahahaha yeah why not and whilst your at it .... forward them onto Barcelona too. I seen that Messi player in training when he was 16 and I couldn't believe after he beat 7 men and rounded the keeper, I was the only one that clicked that he could play all the other scouts were like na we will see what he is like against Real Madrid at the champ league final before we decide if he is talented or not.

Like I said maybe you cant see when boxers have a talent but that doesnt mean the rest of us cant.

 

Let's spice it up. Only count WBA Super, WBC and IBF. And only the original 8 weight classes.

 

So worst britsh world champions:
1. Heavyweight : Frank Bruno
2. Light heavyweight : Clinton Woods
3. Middleweight : Darren Barker
4. Welterweight: Kell Brook
5. Lightweight: Anthony Crolla
6. Featherweight: Howard Winstone
7. Bantamweight: Stuart Hall
8. Flyweight: Charlie Magri

 

Spot on.

 

Howard Winstone?!?

 

Hughie Fury could one day be in this thread!

 

Bruno was better than Bentt, Akinwande and Hide.

 

Glenn McCrory.

 

Howard Winstone?

You joke yeah?

 

On the right lines I think except for Winstone. Different level of fighter than either Hodkinson or Ingle.

Woods is a bit underrated and I think would have a good chance against Andries. Difficult call as both were solid top 5 guys but fell well short against ATGs.

 

Have we mentioned Barry Jones yet? WBO champion in the mid 90s so probably like an IBO champion today

 

1. Heavyweight : Frank Bruno
2. Light heavyweight : Clinton Woods
3. Middleweight : Darren Barker
4. Welterweight: Kell Brook
5. Lightweight: Anthony Crolla
6. Featherweight: Paul Ingle
7. Bantamweight: Stuart Hall
8. Flyweight: Charlie Magri

I don't count the WBO as a real world title. No one respected it til the Klitschko era. And they had no choice because they won't sign with Don King in 1996. So they got frozen out and also because they wanted to fight (almost exclusively) in Germany.
Strip out the WBO and there haven't been many British champions. And also forget about the light/junior/super weight classes. Light heavy is one of the original 8 divisions. Straw can be a woman's division like UFC. In fact I think the WBA/WBC and IBF should move to the UFC weight classes. People all over the world are getting taller and bigger.
