    Basically I keep on hearing about Froch's tough back to back fights but how about back to back wins (which is what matters when it comes down to it)....So guys let's name some great winning streaks (around 5-10) from British fighters.

    Hatton - Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Urango, Castillo
    Calzaghe - Lacy, Bika, Manfredo, Kessler, Hopkins, R. Jones
    Froch - Reid, Rybacki, Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell
    Khan - Kotelnyk, Salita, Malignaggi, Maidana, McCloskey, Judah

    Okay just a start mainly from the modern era, I know there's some great ones from down the years...

    Neither of those are "streaks" or "back to back" wins chaps.

    That's pretty good, and that's the thing about these streaks there's always a few weak ones (so called bums) in there.

    These streaks don't necessary have to be great, just any half decent ones will do i.e maybe a Witter one.

    No mate but I don't really rate the HOF either. On a personal level its great for a fighter to get in but does it really change what they've achieved in the ring when they get into the HOF at the 5th time of asking?

    Not a fan TBH mate.
