    Threads like this seriously question why some people post on boxing forums when they don’t like boxing!!

    How can AJ/Witter/Khan/Nelson be considered at all!

    Rocky Fielding always comes to the forefront of my mind when these types of questions pop up.

    Nathan Cleverly - fought a load of bums, gifted all his belts until Braehmer and even with that one he lucked out with the injury.

    Why are people overrating Junior Witter lol. He wasn't the weakest when you have the likes of Butler and Galahad on the list, but he was inconsistent and often boring to watch, often barely squeaking out wins against mediocre fighters, and didn't have any real stand out wins against anyone prime. He had 2 draws and 8 losses including losses to nobodies like Victor Lupo Puiu. There was nothing special about him at all, he was European level.

    Sounds like you don't like boxing. Cause you musn't follow it properly if you consider a Wba REGULAR titlist as a world champ.

    To be fair it can get quite confusing when the wba are giving out random belts willy nilly

    Plenty promoters would bill the WBA regular as a "world title". Much like they do with the IBO (and the WBO not all that long ago).

    Who voted for Terry Flanagan ffs, expose yourselves you bums, Flanagan was a good fighter who got shamefully ducked by Crolla, shouldn’t even be on this list, it’s Stuart Hall by the way

    It simply has to be Kid Galahad. He was bang average with a glass jaw. All the titles he won were vacant titles, including the world title win against Jazza Dickens (who is nowhere near world level). He was champ for just a couple of months, (probably the shortest reign ever) then KO'd in his first cherry picked defence by a completely shot 40 year old Kiko with many losses who wasn't even ranked in the IBF top 15 until the fight was announced. Galahad has no world class wins, and mostly fought journeymen. His whole career was basically a fraudulent hoax.

    What world title has he had ? I'm presuming he has Ibo or similar that surely doesn't count

    Whilst I agree, he isn't the answer on this........ It's definitely far from the worst shout on here. Zapeda would've beat him with relative ease had the injury not happened, something I think even Terry/Steve M knew, given they never entertained any rematch.

    Jamie McDonnell hasn't been mentioned, but he is up there; it was comical watching him rehydrate to above 140 lbs vs Inoue, only for him to be stopped in a round. A welcome example of attempted weight bullying gone wrong.
