Herol Graham was the most talented Brit never to win a world title , closely followed by Mike Watson .

I agree. Briggs actually retired mate. Apparently he had some health problems.

Difinitely very entertaining to watch. His fight with Ward is one of my top 10 greatest fight.

I would say Armando Muniz & Bennie Briscoe.

That's for sure and it's kinda hard not to at least appreciate the guy, never back down a challenge and knows how to bring the sparks in.

But Herol was no so much fun to watch, so as far as favorites go, I would say Shea Neary. He was a lot of fun in the early 90s, and won a piece god awful alphabet crap, but when he finally fought at World Class (against Micky Ward); he was found just a little wanting.

Agree re Graham, however your post reads as if he fought Hagler but he didn't , pitty he got a bit too careless against Julian Jackson or he wouldn't have been mentioned here !!

I remember watching the Brodie fight as well - one of the biggest robberies I've ever witnessed.

Great call Mick.Briscoe was as hard as a rock.

emanuel augustus is one of the most talented journeymen i have ever seen.

Antwun Echols.

If he would have fought William Joppy or Keith Holmes for their MW belts then he would have been a world champion.

Instead he took on the best, Bernard Hopkins, twice, and ended becoming a name opponent and trial horse for young fighters.

Agreed Herol was just unlucky, even if he fought today he would find a way to lose the fight. :)

Old school! Would have to go to the great Sam Langford
New school! Buck Smith, Emmanuel Augustus, Micky Ward and Gerry Cooney
