    Watson is the best British fighter to not win a British, European or World title.

    At least no ones mentioned Kirkland Laing yet. He usually gets the vote for this sort of question but he's not even close IMHO.

    I''ll go for Rudkin, Graham, Charnley. In that order.

    Jim Driscoll never won it officially did he? No decision rule stopped him.
