Best British boxers never to win world title

[Toffeefist]

Herol Graham, Colin jones, Michael Watson, pat Cowdell, and of course not forgetting the "A Force"
Any other suggestions?

You had to go and throw the A Farce in there, immediately marking this as a joke thread!

As a Welshman I'll throw forward the name of Nicky Piper, and for my serious pick James DeGale.

Kirkland Laing.

Herol Graham, one point unfairly deducted against McCallum cost him the draw, Julian Jackson corner about throw towel in before you know what, come out of retirement and knocking down Brewer (twice) in his home town before being stopped, cannot get more unlucky than that.

[Mark TKO]

Herol Graham without a doubt

closely followed by Pele Reid and Takaloo

[Master]

Chris Eubanks WBO title should not count either.

[paddy448]

Kirkland Laing.

Definately

[BIG H]

It's Bomber Graham imo.

Tony Sibson is one that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Billy Schwer was doing very well against Ruelas before the bruising.

Henry Wharton came close

Michael Watson

I thought Herol Graham legitmately lost to Mike McCallum, Sumbu Kalambay 1. But he for 100 percent should of got the nod in the rematch against Sumbu Kalambay. Herol Graham wasn't really defensive in the Sumbu Kalambay fights, he got hit very often.

'Parcel Force' Harrison was WBF HW champion.

Ryan Rhodes

Takaloo?

Some good names mentioned.

Don't want to sound harsh but just quickly checked out Watson's record before posting and he had a points defeat earlier in his career over 8 against a more experienced fighter but really was someone Watson should have come through against. ko'd in the 11th against Mccallum then defeated against Eubank twice. He was relatively young at 26 so had he not been injured so tragically he still had time to come good. To me it seems he was a fighter who was destined to always fail at the very top against the best. A bit like Ryan Rhodes.

Best way to judge Michael Watson (or anybody) is to watch their fights and their skills, rather than look at what is on paper. Not saying this in a condecending way btw.

That was his 8th pro fight, Gerald McClellan also lost twice early in his career. As did many other fighters and they still went on too win world titles.

No shame in losing to Mike McCallum who was a great fighter and a HOF, Michael Watson did beat Nigel Benn and deserved to beat Chris Eubank in there 1st meeting. And was a mile ahead on points in the rematch until Chris Eubank found a hail mary.

Michael Watson would of for 100 percent won a world title, he had the determination and the skills.
