    Can't decide between Brodie especially when he got robbed against Jorrin or Herol Graham I think i'll say Brodie because for me that night he DID win the world title

    Herrol Graham is a good shout. you have gotta think guys like Henry Cooper would have been world champions if he was about now with 4 world titles.

    Fantastic shout, Herol Grahams name is the one that always springs to mind first for me on this one but yeah Watson is a fantastic shout.

    I had a good watch of him for the first time the other day, yes he was incredibly good- but not for me a world beater. The Duran win was tremendous and proves that he COULD have won a world title- but what about Colin Jones, Watson, Graham.... my pick based on H2H peak ability. Richard Williams- he could have beaten them all.

    Just read about Rudkin in an old boxing annual. He deserves a vote.

    Cheers mate! I had to put that up for the younger fellas, don't want him forgotten. Dave Charnley deserves a mention as well.

    I have these fighters all tied together...

    :happy:happy...Michael Watson, Kirkland Laing and Herol Graham...:happy:happy

    I think that Henry Wharton was around at the wrong time and if he had been around a bit earlier or later he would have had a World Title for sure...:yep

    Colin Jones, Herol Graham.

    Jones was within an ace of winning the WBC(?) strap when he was taken to a draw in the first fight and then a very, very, very close SD in the second fight with Milton McCrory
