    I would of like to of seen Spencer Oliver have a crack at it but i'm still thinking what my final choice would be Brodie Watson Graham or Oliver......it's a tough one i'm leaning towards Watson because he was so close to winning a title and he fought great fighters and such a man of dignity and class he would of been a man fitting of the title ''World Champion''.

    Kirkland Laing is another one maybe because he had his chances he is less deserving then a Watson but he was a great fighter on his day.

    Yeah Jack Kid Berg that's a good one.

    What about Johnny Owen can't forget that warrior died and never got a chance at redemption but he was a great fighter.

    We seem to have a lot of Great British Fighters that just never had the luck some other British World Champions have had.

    Yeah i just saw that vid of buncey tracking down the gifted one. So sad to see him like that and to hear stories of what he got up to and he even said he could of been great if he put mind to it. Brian Lawrence said ''Most talented British Fighter Not To Win A World Title'' hard to disagree with him.

    i know its not technically the questioned you posed, but jimmy wilde would've been absolutely awesome to witness i still can't get my head round the 99 knockouts for such a small fella, what a privilege it would be to see him in this modern era
