Re: Best British boxers never to win world title
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.

Chris Eubanks WBO title should not count either.

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.

The first fight with Kalambay was for the european title and number one slot, not the world title. That was without Ingle who sold his rights to the Irish promoter, and he said his head was not there, blew his shot though.I thought Herol Graham legitmately lost to Mike McCallum, Sumbu Kalambay 1.

Against McCallum it was very close and he should have won that. The second time he fought Kalamaby was a robbery, think he knocked Kalamabay down at least once but in Italy he was not going to get the decision.

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

Re: Best British boxers never to win world title
I'm going to stick my neck out and say Joe Bugner, i've been watching him fight recently and the guy was pretty good. Several heavyweights worse than him have won titles that's for sure.
