      Should have been one fighter each division. Makes no sense when we could add other UK fighters (like Liam Smith at 154, Terry Flanagan at 140, etc.). UK is good, but they don't have great depth compared to the U.S.

      Heavyweight - Wilder < AJ. Would also pick Fury over Wilder if he comes back anywhere close to peak (which remains to be seen).
      200 - Tabiti > Bellew
      175 - Radivoje (robbed against Browne). Although I wonder who's the best of these three including Joe Smith Jr. < Yarde (I'm not even fully convinced, just buying some of the hype as well).
      168 - Benavidez > Groves
      160 - Jermall > Saunders
      154 - Hurd > Brook
      147 - Spence > Khan, lol.
      140 - Prograis > Josh Taylor
      135 - Mikey Garcia > Campbell

        In a realistic setting I agree one from each would make more sense and the depth difference isn't a surprise given the size of the respective countries

        some interesting choices like Tabiti beating Bellew who im in no way claiming is the cruiserweight GOAT but he is a lot more seasoned id expect him to win that. thanks for answering

              Only refs allowed are IJL, Howard foster or the italian from the AJ/Parker fight.

              3 non-bias. fair and solid refs there.

                  I would pick the American over the British fighter in almost all of these match ups, except I got Eubank over Dirrell, Whyte over Jennings obviously Joshua over Miller and Campbell above Easter.

                      Why stop at lightweight? UK and USA have plenty of fighters below that

                      130 lbs - Davis vs Tennyson
                      126 lbs - Santa Cruz vs Frampton
                      122 lbs - Roman vs McDonnell (not sure if Dogboe would choose to represent the UK)
                      118 lbs - Negrete vs Burnett
                      115 lbs - Warren vs Yafai
                      112 lbs - Viloria vs Selby

                      Personally I am just happy that the UK has at least one contender in every division excluding the smallest two. Considering the US has a talent pool about 3x as large as ours according to BoxRec it's impressive that we can even compete
