    Bruno and Khan - my god how can one suggest this when all time UK greats such as Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverley are not on this list.

    Us Brits rarely have weak champs so this is a toughie apart from the obvious standout in Tyson fury.

    The first two who came to my mind were Lee Haskins and Stuart Hall.

    I was going to say Rocky Fielding but he was only the "Regular" Champion so I guess that doesn't count.

    Tyson fury is probably the weakest. Won the titles and then refused a rematch, managed to beat a basket baller at the second attempt to win a title back and then go 2 years without defending it again after turning down numerous other fights including a unification fight.

    Fury would have boxed Bruno`s ears off.

    Did you see what Tyson did to Bruno in Frank`s first defense of the WBC title? Fury is a two time champ beating two fighters that were far better than McCall the night Bruno beat him.

    Fury would've ducked the big man.

    Bruno was easy to hit, look at the 1-2 that knocked out Stiverne, the 2 came after the 1 instantly, perfect 1-2, like M.Tyson said: make two punches sound like one, Bruno never had that kind of technique, his combo`s were pretty poor by comparison.
