    Yeah Khan is technically sound and can only get better. The guy who said he isn't because of his chin doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

    Watson was easily better technically than Eubank, who was sloppy.

    These aren't the best but currently they are at the top imo.

    Currently i love watching Jason booth when he is on form. I'm not sure if he will make it to world level but he is great fighter to watch and has a tough task with Molitor. Very precise combination puncher if he had a bit more meat on his punches he would be putting them to sleep.

    Another current one Brain Magee not sure how he hasn't got a title shot yet. Very good in all areas is prone to lapsing in fights though. Can work outside and inside his body shots looked great in his last outing really ripped them into Larsen. Very unlucky over his career should of beat Tsypko and maybe got the nod over Oakey which was close.

    Again not saying they are technically the best ever but currently those two would be high.

    Conteh, Watt & Buchanan would be the picks of the thread so far for me.

    Someone mentioned British fighters having **** defence. I think that was a fair point

    I couldnt disagree more i think the ametuer seen in Britain is very good deep and reccently has improved vastly maybe 20 years ago you could have said that.

    Compared to some bigger western nations much more reccent success than the US
