    When was the last time the UK had a number one P4P fighter?

    For a country with so many world champions, it's sure been a long time since they've had a top 5 p4p fighter.

    Could it be that their champions are all made of paper and are protected by the establishment? What's your explication for the lack of top talent in the UK?

            Prince Naseem was like 4 or 5 and I’m not sure where Lennox was but I don’t think they ever had a #1.

              joe calzaghe was the uncrowned p4p #1 46-0 and if you tease that out over 1000 fights he would have been 1000-0. just math

                  Never. I may be wrong but wasn't Pacquiao the first one that wasn't American or Mexican? And it makes sense since those two countries have the biggest talent pools in boxing by some distance

                    I think it was Ricky Hatton at one point.
