    Name some of the current fighters you feel are worth a place in this club. Fighters that you know can beat some of the big boys but the big guns say there's no reason to fight them and they bring out the excuses such as money t.v and ''i only want big fights''.

    The fighters can be domestic ducked or are being ducked on the world seen.

    Also if you like bring up some names from the past that were in this club and you felt missed out on the big fights or the credit they truly deserved.

    Feel free to name as many as you like and if you wanna give reasons why there ducked then go for it:bbb

    Good list, I know it may seem a strange pick but Winky is still there I reckon. Also have a feeling Agbeko will be there before long.

    Also Glen Johnson. Dawson deserves a lot of credit for accepting a rematch.
