theres a lot of talk of british boxers who would have won a world title if they'd fought in a different era - so lets play a little game;
name a british fighter - who never won a world title - and then come up with a world champ that he would have beaten.
you can select from any era. ie CHRIS FINNEGAN, who never won a world title would have beaten JOEY MAXIM the light heavy world champ from a previous era (in my opinion) and would have been world light heavy king. one rule, you cant nominate a world champ who was british himself.

just a bit of fun

Gary Mason beats Oleg Maskaev.
Herol Graham stands Arthur Abrahams on his head.
Colin Jones beats Paulie Malignaggi

how does price beat mccall?.. no way hose. price does not have the power to put mccall away, but price would not be able to keep away from mccall for 12 rounds.

i agree, because of his poor showing against lewis second time around mccaul gets under valued. i dont think price would ko him, his chins too good, that means a win for OM on points or stoppage.

That would be some achievement especially as Menfredy was never a big four world champion.

correct, but technically he was a world champ (WBU) and thats why i signed kev to fight him!

It would have been a battle of the WBU world champions. Lear won the same belt.
