Best British fighter to never win a World Title?

forgot about brodie !!

 

:deal

 

By the way, Haye wasn't an "undisputed" champion. He was a lineal and unified champion, but by definition he was not undisputed. He could have easily been if he fought Steve Cunningham, but he chose not to.

 

Hard to find Laing fights. I've been looking for a career set or at least a collection of his best fights but haven't found anything yet.

This is the nearest I've come: http://www.boxingbarmy.co.uk/products.asp?pg=6

Not his best fights and I've never used this site before so I'm not too keen.

 

talking of kirkland laing, i'd forgotten about colin jones and how near he came to winning the title.

 

Define world champion - is it Linear, Ring (hope not :d), big three IBF,WBC,WBA, unified big three or simply any title?

 

Jones beat Laing X 2 . stopped him both times in the 9th ,

 

Edit: ^ What he said.

Yes if we're bigging up Kirkland Laing then it's only fair to mention Colin Jones too. He did beat Laing twice and nearly won the title on American soil.

 

Peerless Jim Driscoll.....easily

 

Graham, Watson, Colin Jones.

 

i have only seen him against Duran. He was very good against him.

 

The Jones fights are on Youtube, him KOing George Collins, who was Frank Warrens poster boy at the time, is also worth a watch.

 

Id say Herol Graham is the best in my time not to win a world title.He was so close against Jackson until the big shot landed,Jackson was on the verge of being stopped.He also did well against McCallum and would have beaten Brewer had he been a little younger.

 

Michael Watson.

Was robbed in the first Eubank fight.

 

It's hard to argue against Michael Watson.

First man to beat Benn, pushed McCallum very hard and twice nearly had the better of Eubank.

Great fighter.
