Errol Christie is a good call.
And what about one of his rivals Mark Kaylor, he won the Comonwealth Middleweight Title but never won the British or European Titles.
Best fighter never to win a British, EBU or world title.

Re: Best fighter never to win a British, EBU or world title.
Just checked his records and he only fought for the British Title once against Tony Sibson, which he lost on points. All his other title fights were for the European Titles at middleweight Supermiddle weight and light Heavyweight all of which he lost.banjo wrote:I think Kaylor did win the British title, definitely not the european though.boxer70 wrote:Errol Christie is a good call.

He did fight quite a few eliminators for the British Title though, and he won all of those:

Hmmm...I just looked up the British middleweight title and it says he beat Roy Gumbs for the British title.boxer70 wrote:Just checked his records and he only fought for the British Title once against Tony Sibson, which he lost on points.

Tommy Farr beat Ben Foord for the British and Commonwealth titles.Old bones Ian wrote:Tommy Farr never held anything other than the Welsh title.
The best fighter never to win the British and Commonwealth titles but won a world title was Peter Kane (won the EBU title)
Best fighter not to win any titles - I'll go for Craig Dermody.

It's allright mate, I get historical facts wrong on here all the time... at least you use your memory when posting - it is easy to look clever like some of the posters on here when you have the greatest boxing research tool anywhere on the planet - full respect Ian!Old bones Ian wrote:DOH!Carlos-Wigan wrote:Tommy Farr beat Ben Foord for the British and Commonwealth titles.Old bones Ian wrote:Tommy Farr never held anything other than the Welsh title.
