    Who is the UK's best boxer P4P in your opinion?

    In the poll, I've not included Daniel Dubois and Nick Ball who are coming off a KO losses and Tyson Fury who is coming off two losses and a long layoff.

    Not overawed by any of em TBH... even Itauma.. UK media like no other hype these fellas to no end long before they truly prove their merit.. same happened with Joshua... I respect Fighters like Carl Froch that came through the hard way and were sidelined for many years by the talking heads & sponsors etc.. but ultimately got their dues the proper way.. wheras i.e Anthony Yarde was anointed & lavished with gold before hed even done anything worth a ****.. & even to this day he still hasn't, yet the fellas sponsored by the likes of Adidas... its mental.. he's a proper tool & he's a **** fighter.. he just ticks a certain box... no faith in British fighters these days, its a poor crop.. they always get found out.. Give me Calzaghe, Lewis, Benn, Froch etc anyday... Wardleys my favourite, hes a decent fella but again hes nothing special.

    He has actually achieved, others are prospects hoping to achieve.

    I think that's unlikely, although Catterall would be a good opponent for Smith and I'd like to see the fight.

    On a P4P sense - probably Dalton Smith.

    Itauma, barring some unforeseen catastrophic weakness like a glass chin or abysmal engine, is clearly the best British fighter. He’s not the most accomplished yet, but unless he has a grave weakness, then he should achieve more than all the others combined.

    He’s the only generational talent as he's 240-250 pounds yet moves like a fast cruiserweight, is technically superb at age 21, and is likely one of the hardest punchers in the division. different gravy to the rest in terms of natural ability.

    Smith, Sheeraz, Wardley, Kelly have all done more so far, but they are much more run-of-the-mill, solid talents and it's not even remotely close.

    Itauma, hands down. Mark Itauma as the winner and end the poll right now.

    He looks impressive - but so did Jared Anderson when he was fighting soft opposition.

    Itauma is unproven, he has yet to fight a prime top 50 heavyweight.
