    I don’t like this ‘it’s my thread so I’m going to police it and delete things I don’t want here’ precedent. If you’re going to do it, you need to grant everyone who creates threads the same power to police and delete.

    Don't ask me to justify this. It's purely subjective :
    Muhammad Ali
    Carl Froch
    Tony Sibson
    Pat Cowdell
    Chris Finnegan
    Kevin Finnegan
    Barry McGuigan
    Kostas Petrou
    Colin Jones
    Jason Welborn
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Jim Watt
    The vast majority on this list are guys that I've regularly watched live. Sorry to our non UK members who may well think I've made some of them up !!!

    The only one I had to look up was Petrou. Solid list of UK talent, with some titans thrown in.
