What Domestic Fighter From Any Era Would You Pick To Bring Back To Fight In This Era For A Alphabet World Title If They Could Come Back In There Prime???
Your Choice Can Have Fought For The World Title But It Has To Be A Domestic Fighter Who Never Won A Legitimate Version Of A World Title.
It Could Be A Fighter That Never Even Got The Chance To Fight At World Level and Was Stuck At Domestic Level But You Felt They Maybe Had More Potential Then What Was Achieved.
:good
we love to see Jimmy Wilde fight Ivan Calderon

That's a good choice that would be a great fight.
I'm still racking my brain thinking... at the moment i have Graham,Watson,Brodie,Schwer and many more running through my mind. Tough Choices for me as there so many British fighters i felt could of gone onto better things.

Herol Graham or Michael Watson. Probally go for Watson as it was such a sad way his career ended.

Actually scrap that, Lennox Lewis just to show these Klitschko pretenders what a real heavyweight champion looks like.

Tommy you didn't read the first post properly, otherwise I would have said Benn and Thompson.

Apologies.
I just saw Jimmy Wilde and thought it was anybody seeing as he was the Flyweight World Champion.
I'd say Herol Graham then. Or Michael Watson.

I'd love to see Henry Cooper, to see how good a cruiser he could have been.
Failing that, Cowdell or Herol Graham to get the world title they deserved.

I would of like to of seen Spencer Oliver have a crack at it but i'm still thinking what my final choice would be Brodie Watson Graham or Oliver......it's a tough one i'm leaning towards Watson because he was so close to winning a title and he fought great fighters and such a man of dignity and class he would of been a man fitting of the title ''World Champion''.

Kirkland Laing is another one maybe because he had his chances he is less deserving then a Watson but he was a great fighter on his day.

Yeah Jack Kid Berg that's a good one.
What about Johnny Owen can't forget that warrior died and never got a chance at redemption but he was a great fighter.
We seem to have a lot of Great British Fighters that just never had the luck some other British World Champions have had.

Kirkland Laing...
Yeah i just saw that vid of buncey tracking down the gifted one. So sad to see him like that and to hear stories of what he got up to and he even said he could of been great if he put mind to it. Brian Lawrence said ''Most talented British Fighter Not To Win A World Title'' hard to disagree with him.

The late Najib Daho, to have a great domestic with Amir Khan, Daho wins this for me though, but would be a cracking contest....

It would have to be the prince Nas - but when he was still with Brendan Ingle just before his defence and reflexes began to wane.
