    AJ, BJS, C. Smith, Yafai, Dogboe, Frampton, Burnett, Bellew, Taylor, Groves. Not sure what order i'd put them in but they're the top 10 in my opinion

    He does have the British nationality now, right? So he should be just as British as Lewis used to be, and Whyte and your (dell)boi Chisora are now.

    I was thinking the same. We can't be claiming him

    Got to say I think in terms of ability, Saunders, Frampton are out in their own league in terms of Britain. Josh Taylor maybe soon to prove he belongs there too

    Saunders is slick and seems a natural boxer but just how many top level opponents has he fought? I’d like to see him against Charlo or Jacobs and see how good he is. I think Golovkin and Canelo both beat him but they beat everyone. They’re best of generation fighters.

    He schooled Lemieux. Beat Andy Lee and CEJ. His CV is fairly impressive.

    Your point is a fair one but his style is a nightmare for anybody. A lot of it depends what BJS shows up really, but when it's the one like against Leimeux, he's going to be hard for anybody.

    It's obviously very much probable that both of those beat him yeah, but in my opinion he is the only man outside of those two who can actually possibly beat them

    Dogboe moved here when he was 7 apparently...Chisora moved here when he was 15, Whyte when he was 12, nobody questions their Britishness.

    He’s British chaps. Feel free to stick him in your top 10.

    Those two very much class themselves as British with heritage elsewhere though...that's the difference. Dogboe is proudly Ghanaian although yes with British nationality now. He probably feels fondly for Britain but his interviews seem that he classes himself Ghanaian first and foremost
