    It's ridiculous people still see "hands down" as an indicator of poor training, there are things like distance, head movement, shoulder rolls, slipping, feinting and so on that can be used for defence instead of the archaic "hands up" and take shots on the gloves style typically expected in the UK.

    An upright European stance is often cannon fodder for a more athletic and unorthodox boxer - see Pavlik vs Martinez or even Frampton vs Quigg.

    Booth is the number 1 in my opinion. Obviously Peter Fury had a great year too.

    If success with one fighter qualifies, Steve Maylett?
