    Trivia question i don't know the answer to i thought collectively as Brit forum we might be able to answer it.

    Which British fighter has the most wins over current, future or past "world" champions.

    Maybe a god idea to split this into a two part question

    Pre 1980?

    Post 1980?

    Obviously post 1980 can include WBO WBA WBC IBF

    Pre may include WBA WBC and NBA champions.

    pre 1980 then Jack Berg or Kid Lewis would have a shout (assuming that Lewis gets a "point" for each Britton fight rather than just one)

    I dunno (and I can't be arsed checking;)) but the likes of Benn, Calzaghe, Hatton etc fighting retreads who held a version of the title may surprise you.

    Yeah, i spotted that, Paul Buckley was a fat kid at my primary school.

    Not a bad shout though as he has 8 I think:
    Duke McKenzie
    Naz
    Acelino Freitas
    Jason Cook
    Paul Ingle
    Scott Harrison
    Gavin Rees
    Jonny Bredahl

    ALTHOUGH NO WINS
