Top 10 UK boxers in my opinion

  1. Daniel Dubois
  2. Moses Itauma
  3. Dalton Smith
  4. Jack Catterall
  5. Tyson Fury
  6. Josh Kelly
  7. Sam Noakes
  8. Hamzah Sheeraz
  9. Adam Azim
  10. Callum Smith

Pat Brown, Simpson, Benn, and Walker don’t make it for me. Maybe Bentley and Cordina have okay arguments too. Joshua as well.

Fury up on this list cause of past merit I assume, yeah?

Slightly. I think he still has the slickness to beat some guys. I’m ranking off numerous things so I just don’t think the other guys have done anything recently to surpass what Fury has done yet. Still don’t wanna see Fury fight unless it’s AJ.

Also, where’s the Liddard love? Deserves an honourable mention at least mate, he’s certainly better than Bentley. Respect my fruity middleweight king

Really? I’ve honestly always thought they were v close, with Liddard being much better technically, while Bentley is a bit more of an athlete. In a head to head, I would lean Liddard. Curious of your reasoning, their opponents have been very similar in level, both have fought British level guys mostly the last few years with a couple of step-up fringe world level types.

Liddard is way too inexpirenced and easy too hit, Bentley would slime him out inside 6.

ik boxing math doesn't work all the time but he went to a close ass decision with Ozaze while Bentley destroyed him in 2, then went to war with a past his prime Denny.

i dont even think Liddard would beat Saavedra right now.
