2000: Catley Calzaghe x3 Hamed x2 Lewis x3 Ingle x2 Mcracken x1 Woodhall x1 Nelson x2 Neil Sinclair x1 Pickering x1 Cantwell x1 Starie x1 Jones x1 Brodie x1 Witter x1

2001: Calzaghe x2 Lewis x2 Eastman x1 Alexander x1 Starie x1 Nelson x2 Stone x1

2002: Calzaghe x3 Clinton Woods x1 Lewis x1 Harrison x1 Nelson x2 Takaloo x1

2003: Calzaghe x1 Woods x1 Lewis x1 Reid x1 Harrison x3 Neslon x1 Starie x1 Mcullough x1 Brodie x1

2004: Calzaghe x2 Woods x1 Williams x1 Harrison x3 Nelson x1 Brodie x1

2005: Calzaghe x2 Woods x2 Hatton x2 Reid x1 Eastman x1 Harrison x2 Brodie x1 Nelson x1

2006: Calzaghe x2 Woods x2 Hatton x1 Macarinelli x1 Hobson x1 Hunter x1 Witter x1

2007: Calzaghe x1 Woods x1 Hatton x2 Rees x1 Macarinelli x3 Haye x1 Elcock x1 Witter x2 Cook x1

2008: Woods x1 Skelton x1 Froch x1 Lockett x1 Rees x1 Macarinelli x1 Cook x1 Arthur x1 Haye x1 Witter x1

2009: Woods x1 Jennings x1 Afolabi x1 Cook x1 Froch x2 Khan x2 Haye x1 Witter x1

2010: Haye x1 Froch x1

Any glaring omissions?

From my count there were 106 title fights contended by 38 different fighters in the past 10 years the best year for title fights being 2000 with 18 the worst being 2004-06-08 with only 8 title fights but 2004 only had 8 fighters whereas 2006 had 9 different fighters and 2008 had 10

How many British fighters in world title fights will there be this year?

 

Yer too much time but worth it for a definitive list lol i might do an all time one over summer there are a few big scraps which get missed out Hopkins Calzaghe Hatton Castillo and Hatton Pac as they were for ibo/ring

 

People who will fight this year for a world title again Khan Haye Munroe maybe Mitchell, Booth and Rhodes are also in with a shout

 

Cant see Brook having a proper title at welter just yet he needs the Mayweather Pac to dissipate 1st Clev could be a shoe in though i reckon.
So probably 10? world title fights for British fighters this year?

 

BUMP because it took me ages and i want more people to see it

 

I am currently trying to round up the 90's through numerous sources. I think 80's might be the hardest after that there are less title so should be easier but the flip side being less people to remember them so we shall see

 

Got to love Conteh in a bath

 

thanks for spotting that will be posting the 1990's title challengers list soon and will be asking for 80's challengers soon
