So who would make your British & Irish top 10 of this century, only those fighters who gave never held a World Championship...

Should make for interesting reading...

eubank jr? unless you count ibo or interim belts

Some names to start Macklin , Murray , Ryder, Whyte, Joyce , Mitchell, Brodie

Howard Eastman
Luke Campbell
Michael Brodie
Jamie Moore
Ryan Rhodes
Matthew Hatton
Matthew Macklin
Martin Murray
Kevin Mitchell
Andrew Selby

Ten names off the top of my head, probably not the definitive top 10

Micheal Brodie

or the current ones Whyte has to be up there (not on tallent on resume though), joyce two while sticking to current heavys. Eubank Jr for sure up there.

Esham Pickering

Maybe on his whole career. But as a pro, Campbell shouldn’t be at the top of the list.

He is in the top 10 though yes.

Dean Francis another name

Sorry mate it was an old forum in joke from when horse used to do his British p4p list

Someone always had to say ‘Murray too high’. Cos he always was.

Ah sorry dude, I didn’t get the reference :)) I am laughing now I know the background.

I like Joe Joyce, but at the same time I think the calls are a little premature - he's fought one ambitious guy and he was losing at the time of the stoppage.

Murray too high.

I don't understand Andrew Selby..

He did fight decent op, was dropped but beat Rosales, before he became a world champion, and then got KO'd by Martinez..

Won a couple more before retiring.

Are we looking at boxing ability?

How close they came to a world title? resume?

Murray too high.

Yes Murray is way to high - almost like a "Frank Bruno" of the Middleweights - gave good accounts of himself at world leve, but no world level wins himself really.

I'd have Mitchell ahead of Campbell - did better vs Linares and did a better job with "cleaning up" domestically. Campbell should have fought Liam Walsh - infact I'd say Walsh has a better resume than Campbell.

Murray too high

Ryder's best win was against Jamie Cox

arguably, though a few other guys on his record who might have beaten cox

if he got the decision over cal it wouldnt have been unfair tbf

Mackinaw above Moore?
