Top 10 British boxers ever P4P?

I would have Naz above Hatton.

 

Turpin probably has the best win of any British fighter, but let's not kid ourselves that Robinson wasn't on a drinking and shagging tour at the time.

Lewis is #1 :deal

 

I think I read that thread before, was it on the 606 or Boxrec?

 

606 is SHOCKING

 

I know. It's where I started :yep

 

Conteh was far from majestic in the 2nd Saad Muhammud. He was doing his drunk man impression in that fight.

Lets have a look at Conteh's world championship fights:


Mate Parlov - Beat Conteh (had a couple of defensives to his name a two time champ)

Jorge Victor Ahumada - Never won the title

Lonnie Bennett- jouneyman who got one shot at the title and lost that shot to Conteh.

Alvaro "Yaqui" Lopez - Never won the title - 5 tries and 5 fails

Matthew Saad Muhammad - One close fight and one where he was a disgrace. The second fight being possibly the most disappointing performance in a title fight by any British fighter ever.


Looking at Ricky's world title fight record I would have him in front of Conteh:

Manny Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather,
José Luis Castillo
Juan Urango
Luis Collazo
Carlos Maussa
Kostya Tszyu

 

what belt was Castillo for. wasnt it the IBO

 

Back in the 70's and 80's because there were only 2 titles - that were usually held by the same person anyway - you'd have to beat a world class fighter (or several) to get a shot.

These days, beat fringe domestic level fighters, beat some chump in the top 15 and make an offer. Job done.

I'm banned from 606 for ''posting content with foul and abusive language''

 

606.....best list I've seen......1-50 British greats. Written by the most knowledgeable guy on 606.

 

Yeah 606 is worse than on here for banning people for what you can post and this forum is bad enough.

 

I think ESB is about right, barring censoring Frank Warren related topics and requesting streams.

All I did was call Tony Smith an overrated Aussie ****, I speak the truth!

 

Vacant WBC title was also on the line along with IBO.


By the way I'm no Ricky fanboy. Just comparing fighters and I think Ricky did more. Conteh had more talent than Ricky but the drink and women were the problem. Ricky made the most of what he had until he started stuffing his face. All the same he had pretty much climbed to the top of his personal mountain at that stage.

 

I'm guessing he meant Matthew Hatton but just made a mistake

Do people actually get paid for writing this trash?
