Real World champions who were British and number 1

[Dark Lord Al]

So no Benn or Eubank? No Minter? No Wilde? No Prince Naz?

naz and Wilde have been accepted , eubank was a media product.

the lack of response really sums up how much bullshit so called champions there are,
come on guys lets reason for some more champs

[El Kabong]

What about Alan Minter?

[BIG H]

What about Alan Minter?

There was guy called Marvin or something that was pretty good around that time

[Dark Lord Al]

What about Alan Minter?

Minter , hmmm was he the best all be it not for long ?

Yes and as I recall it was Haggler that beat Minter to win the title and become the best middleweight at the time. Ergo before the fight Minter was the guy of the division.

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.

Seriously... 3 fucken pages and no "Kid" Lewis I'm disappointed.
Also Freddie Welsh.

Yes good examples , by the way this is an open thread , i didnt want to just list as many as i thought were for real , i wanted everyone to discuss.

So we have as follows.

Lennox Lewis
David Haye
Bob Fitzsimmons
Hamed
Lloyd Honeyghan
Kid Lewis
Alan Minter
Jimmy Wilde
Ricky Hatton

please list all if you want to add any so we can sum up at the end.

Example of a fragmented belt holder of the worst type , Duke McKenzie i mean he was never the best in any of the 3 divisions he held a belt in , so never a WORLD CHAMPION.

John Conteh..

[rjj tszyu]

Nigel Benn deserves to make this list I think.

I think James Toney and Roy Jones might have had something to say about that!

Also, though it pains me to mention him but does no one consider Watt the LW world champ until Arguello beat him??

[CutMeMick]

Alan should not be on the list...

[Master]

Randy Turpin beat the greatest p4p fighter ever.

[Dowlin85]

Ken buchanan should surely fall in to this catagory he was undisputed lightweight champ.

Randy Turpin is in 100%

Alan Minter is removed via cutememick unless we argue his case

Ken Buchanan is open to discussion

[Fenster]

Are you purposely leaving off Calzaghe?

And you missed Jack Kid Berg too (lineal 140lb champ and man that ended the great Kid Chocolate's 70 odd fight unbeaten run)
