    As i am very bored and despite the fact i have been a fan of the sport for a few years I sometimes hear hear of a recent fighter that i wasnt aware had had a "world" title shot. So I want to see if Brit ESB can name all British "world" (only WBO WBA WBC IBF) title challengers of the past decade.

    I will name a few obvious ones to get the ball rolling
    Hatton
    Witter
    Enzo
    Haye
    Rees
    Woods
    Calzaghe
    Hamed
    Lewis
    Jennings
    Lockett
    Khan
    Froch

    I'm not sure Arthur really counts.

    Apologies in advance to Dunky.

    I was thinking the same mate but he did lose it in the ring in a World title Fight so I supposed you CAN have him on the list.

    Yeah it's open to debate.

    I just think Alex looks a bit silly calling himself a world champion when he never actually won a world title fight.

    I know Maccarinelli was gifted his WBOgus title but at least he defended it a few times against decent opponents.

    Yep :good

    I'm really not too happy about him calling himself/being called an Ex-World Champ because he won it by default out of the ring and never once defended it therefore his hand had never ever been raised in triumph as one :-(
