Who's the worst Brit World Champion of the last 15 Years?(poll)

Minus the ability to switch hit like a Don and minus the love of genuinely class old school hip hop, Selby entering the ring to Big L was G stuff

 

Hall and Rees both for me were well below world title level.

I've seen people mention Joshua, Bellew and Nelson...ridiculous mentions. Embarrassing really.

 

Bellew made the boxing hardcore fedoras eat crow by sparking Makabu the boogeyman…they still haven’t got over it

 

Very harsh to have Kid Galahad on the list. He was robbed against Warrington and was schooling Martinez before getting caught

 

Junior Witter shouldn't be on this list, genuinely world class in his prime.

Can't believe Lee Selby was mentioned by some idiot. Commonwealth, British (winning the Lonsdale belt outright along the way) EBU and winning a title off a reigning champion, not a vacant strap

Hall definitely, Rees is questionable, Butler beat some good class fighters.

 

Lee Selby came up the hard way and against a lot of odds, his story is inspiring. Josh Warrington ran scared for years and waited until he was literally starving himself to make weight and even then he had to win dirty.

 

They boxed at light heavyweight, a weight in which he never won a world title so stop talking nonsense. Shame as I am sure he would have loved to have had a go at a vacant one at 175lbs against a ‘killer’ not ranked in the world top ten.

 

What's that got to do with the price of fish? I'm making point Bellew was going nowhere and stinking out PPVs nobody wanted in the first place - then ended up with a world title and stinking rich compared to most of us. Doesn't matter who he beat to win it.

 

I admit I’d never even heard of the man. Just saying everyone on here was saying Bellew was getting kod.

 

Jamie McDonnell should probably be on the list too

 

Come on now. He did lack a chin and ring IQ but is nowhere near this list. Beat some good fighters in his prime

 

Is it tho. Lost a close fight to warrington. (Should of got a rematch but can see why he didnt after the stink fest first fight.) He then got a vacant title shot against dickens who he had already beat. Won the title. Then first defence got iced by ageing super bantum.

 

Bit unfair, beat some good fighters, including Tomoki Kameda, who's won a few world straps since losing his unbeaten record to McDonnell

 

Im probably a bit bias as it used to irk me that they would be used on every MR card to ‘stack it’ back in the day

 

True, and he wasn't the most exciting fighter, although he was in the occasional good scrap.

But he did legitimately win a couple of world straps
