Matt Skelton got close, won the English, British, Commonwealth and European plus challenged for the WBA and won the WBU. Excellent after coming to boxing so late in his career.
Challenged for wba?

Tyson Fury .. Joe Joyce could be next
Joyce couldn’t do it. And I doubt he will now. Who knows.

hell of a shock if he does now. His face looks so badly damaged, as if it has been rearranged as well as scarred.

And Ring and Lineal. He said he wants the central area a few years ago.

I remember watching that on Setanta. He was a live under-dog going into that one. Looking back Chavaev was a bit under-rated.

White Tyson was pretty good. He's like a Pulev.
Some of these European are built different.

Why do you say that, out of interest?
To me, was an average guy in a very weak era. I think his two best wins were very close decisions over Valuev and Ruiz.

Seems to have been the norm pre mid-90s.
FW's relationship with the WBO might have been the start of the change (allegedly)

He does mention in his book that it's the most prestigious and the one that everyone wants.

It was a very weak era. I just thought he was one of the better ones of the time and Its the first time I've seen him mentioned anywhere in a few years. He was very awkward and not the most entertaining which doesn't help.
