I don't want to claim him, I don't think he's that good , but if he has fought for a Brit title then he surely fits the criteria :deal (to cover all eventualities the OP should have said UK fighters)
As you know Icemax, fighting for the British title does not make him British. It's merely a technicality which allows Irish fighters to fight for the title which in truth means very little to the fighters in question, it is merely a stepping stone onto bigger things. If Jamie Moore won a world title, I wouldn't be claiming him but he has fought for the Irish title. I know by now that you are a wind up merchant so I won't argue with you, it is taking away from the subject matter.
Ryan Rhodes will be in with a chance I would fancy him having a chance against most of the fighters at 154 at this time. His shot selection is top notch.
Roman Martinez is overdue a mandatory and with Mitchell moving up to fight Prescott, Ricky Burns is the next highest ranked. Not sure if i give him a big chance but its definately interesting.
i think fragomeni holds that belt though and i don't see hide winning that matchup edit: according to boxrec, fragomeni is fighting zsolt erdie later this month
i would say martin lindsay cant believe he is not on the short list . he can box and fight when needed to and take a punch.
with the fullest of respect underdog2 martin hasnt proved himself the best in the UK and you all ready know i think it's simpson.
I really don't have much faith in Cleverleyy being able to scale the heights...he had McIntosh on ***** street for 6 rounds before he finished him, he won't have that luxury at European level, never mind world
