Can't say to be honest having not seen them fight,but if the art of hitting without being hit is boxing,then from what i have seen,Graham was a complete master at it.

Except when he stood in front of one of the biggest P4P punchers in years with his chin in the air...

Seriously though, it's ironic that a fighter that is best known for his defence is probably best remembered for getting brutally KO'd for committing a basic mistake. I was gutted when he lost to Charles Brewer. It seemed such an unlikely comeback but he came very close to finally getting his world title. Shame.

Mathew Ellis.

Howard Eastman

Erroll Christie

Billy Schwer came close and was very talented.

He wasn't a bad fighter.

Good Call Sibbo would have been champion in any other era than Haglers

Evatt sure had world class power; anyone he hit flush was in real bother. He weren't the same after the Jones bout though.

seriously, are you lot f**king morons? how many times do you have to inanely respond with your token answers to this thread before letting the OP know some dipshit asks this question every f**king month and to do a search???

sorry, but this has reaaally tilted me, AGAIN

Flippin heck Riddick; you had a bad day at work? Fancy getting reaaaly tilted over something so trivial.

sorry it's one thread of this name too many. Maybe it could be a sticky? And maybe all the regulars who post the same answer every month could come up with one especially funky and elaborate answer so they never have to robotically type out their platitudes ever again?

Michael Watson
Herol Graham
Dean Francis - great shout

Michael Brodie also - still cant believe how much he was shafted against Jorrin, that was one of the worst con jobs I have ever seen

Brodie must be thinking if only they picked 2 judges with half a brain.
And francis must be thinking if only I fancied a Chinese instead of a kebab that night.

Charlie Mitchell
Jim Driscoll
Owen Moran

Not the best but Jim McDonnell was a really decent boxer, good skills and a hell of a workrate unlucky against Mitchell and Nelson. Also Gary Jacobs was a really decent southpaw and showed against Whitaker he could compete at the highest level

A fighter who no-one has mentioned yet.

Eamon Magee

Could have been a World Champion, maybe a Unified Champ at that. But nights of boozing... And it was all pissed up a wall.

Who, in the last 20 years is 'the most talented fighter to never win a world title'?

Rhodes, Magee???

who else?
