Real World champions who were British and number 1

[Preme]

Most people will hate to admit it, but Haye as a cruiser was definatley top dog.

It's funny, as much as I love Hatton, I never quite considered him the very best at any point. There were always those question marks about how he would do against the very best. Those marks were Unfortunatley answered.

Yeah they'll hate to admit it but it's a fact. Haye was lineal cruiserweight champion.

Haye never beat Cunningham who held the IBF belt so was never the undisputed champion...

I think he would of beaten him, but it never happened.

Cunningham won a vacant IBF title stripped from O'Neil Bell.

Mormeck and Bell fought with the WBC, WBA and IBF titles on the line, which also restarted the lineage which had ended when Holyfield moved to heavyweight.

That makes Haye THE man

Buchanan should definately be in here,he was best in his division for 2 years.Then he met the young 'hands of stone' Roberto Duran,even then it took duran 13 rounds to finish him and when he did it was a shot to the balls that put him down.You have got to take in to consideration the amount of fights he fought abroad.He fought people in there own home towns and capitals and still won.He beat ismael laguna to win the title,who is one of the best boxers to come out of panama and he beat him on lagunas own turf and if Jim Watt is getting in here then so should buchanan because he also beat Watt in his home town of glasgow.

Oh and benny lynch should be here as well.Definitely worth a shout.
