    'International' isnt a world title, it means nothing, it doesnt even mean top10 or top20 at the weight it just means an official WBC internationally ranked fight and is working upto mandatory status

    Armando Muniz was a good example. Dead unlucky against Napoles first time around. One of my favourite "value-for-money" fighters was Armando - watched his war against Zovek Barajas again the other day. Fantastic fight.

    Neither the British title nor the european titles that Graham held were alphabet titles.

    The British title is a real title.

    There has been a tendency on this site for people to focus on the black dynamite heavyweights, who got shafted and overlook the ridch history of coloured middleweight and lightweight champions.

    Dave Holly

    Bobby Dobbs

    Jack Blackburn

    Panam Joe Gans

    Joe Butler

    Jeff Clark

    George Byers

    I have probably missed a few deserving names.
