The best British boxer to never win a world title?

For me it's Herol. So close against Jackson Ahhhhh.

 

too many really and we should also subtract from 'world' title lists, the alphabet titles, but genuine Contenders & Title Challengers, there are plenty really .

the Best? Well that is always hard to conclude, but I would say, Harvey, McAvoy and Roderick just to name a few, but they were by no means alone and likewise as suggested above, many of these contenders are better than many a champion...

but such is Business, I mean Boxing.

 

I agree most definitely,Fergy. And just a little more workrate would have seen him through to victory in his WBA title bout against Mike McCallum.

 

In my lifetime it is definitely the brilliant Herol Graham

 

I agree with a large percentage of people that say nah with respect to Graham, the man had 3 Chances and was still not able to win a title, but a good fighter he was, good that is, 'if' you like the Pawing ****** style, not for me G I Joe.

but yes he will be included in such dialogue.

 

Tommy West should be in the discussion.

 

It was a close fight the McCallum one, Stevie.
Could have gone either way imo.
The Jackson ko was crushing, he was probably minutes away from winning that.

 

Herol Graham and Michael Watson

 

Plus the fact he dropped Brewer twice in his final world championship fight when he was way past his best

 

I love those mentioned already. Just to add a few more to the mix:

Tancy Lee
Alan Rudkin
Owen Moran
Nel Tarleton
Dave Charnley
Dave 'Boy' Green

 

Yes,Fergy,not only was Herol winning handily but Jackson was taking so much punishment that his corner were on the verge of pulling their man out. What a turnaround!

 

Ko of the year, mate.

 

Forgotten about that one, Noel. Another close one there.

 

Watson is the first guy I thought of.
