    Will add Michael Brodie to the list. Featherweight World Champion and certainly Super Bantam World Champ. The Willie Jorrin verdict was just horrible.

    Agree with the people saying Howard Eastman, such a frustrating fighter. Obviously the obvious ones such as Bomber and Kirklaind. Two fighters with skills to hold their own in any era.

    Maybe add Richard Williams to the list as well. Unfortunately stayed a secret as a result of long lay offs.

    Nah it was more like Graham vs Jackson. You thought you was in control and couldnt be stopped then BAM! You was blindsided with a belter. No offence to the Bomber of course. :D

    The great thing is I'm gonna use it for so long only I will be identified with it so it become worthless to you. Unless some good for nothing newbie tries stealing it of course.

    Martin Watson should have won a British title but a mixture of late notice fights, poor decisions and bad promotion meant got far.

    Alex Arthur was too tight at the weight by the time he got to world stage at super feather. He should have stepped up to world class sooner instead of making so many Euro defences.
