Danny Williams does deserve a mention in this one, for the old timers on here what about Chris Finnegan?
Re: Most talented British fighters to never win a world title.
Danny Williams wasn't even good enough to win a european title, he doesn't deserve a mention at all. A great servant to British boxing but he wasn't world class.IRLangmaid25 wrote:Danny Williams does deserve a mention in this one, for the old timers on here what about Chris Finnegan?

I just thought I would throw his name into the mix and see what everyone's sentiments where on this along with Jason Booth?yid14 wrote:Danny Williams wasn't even good enough to win a european title, he doesn't deserve a mention at all.

Re: Most talented British fighters to never win a world title.
Good shout, a Great boxer to watch, shame all his Euro shots came abroad and when he did get a world title shot he was probably two weight divisions above his natural weight but that's where the oppurtunity arose, I also think if Jason could of punched harder he could of won a world title at some point.IRLangmaid25 wrote:I just thought I would throw his name into the mix and see what everyone's sentiments where on this along with Jason Booth?yid14 wrote:Danny Williams wasn't even good enough to win a european title, he doesn't deserve a mention at all.

Gotta be the much avoided Herol Graham--Unlucky against Jackson who he was outclassing at the time of the ko. A rematch would have been interesting.

Re: Most talented British fighters to never win a world title.
I'd put Cowdell forward too. brilliant against Sanchez, caught cold against Nelson (just happens sometimes).
Shame we never got McGuigan-Cowdell.

Billy Schwer was also in a incredible period at Lightweight.

If we are talking about the best it has to be Kirkland Laing.

He wasn't a bad fighter.Sibbo would have been champion in any other era than Haglers
Would not have beaten Graham
Re: Most talented British fighters to never win a world title.
Laing lost to a shedload of domestic level fighters. Take away the win over Duran and there isn't a lot left above domestic/Euro class.
Re: Most talented British fighters to never win a world title.
