    Cool with me. Not all of my favorite fighters are Americans and never have been.

        I think most boxing fans have this same attitude. They just want to see good fighters in good fights regardless of where they're from.

        I'm from the UK and hadn't even noticed the ***** in the op. Remember that year when we had like 9 world title holders and that **** was halved the following year? Things are always changing.

        If I compiled a list of my favorite fighters in history, it'll prob only have two brits max on there. It is what it is...

            And that's just at first glance. Who knows what else is wrong with your list.
            I ain't for a second condoning the TS nationalistic trolling, but I think Taylors generally regarded as the top ranked at 140. Ring / Tbrb / Boxrec are split over 126 between Warrington and LSC although I personally believe GRJ would beat both relatively comfortably.

              This: couldn't actually give a **** where the fighters come from, far as I'm concerned it's a global sport and I think the diversity is a positive thing, but far as I'm concerned I got zero issues that US is the spiritual home of the pro sport and the single strongest boxing nation and economic driver.... Well except that most of the best fights happen while I'm asleep of course. That's a pain in the ass.

                Taylor has two belts, Ramirez has two belts. An argument can be made for either one. My eyes tell me Ramirez is better but ultimately they will have to settle it in the ring.

                LSC isn't at 126 any more. GRJ is clearly the best and most experienced champion at that weight.

                  Just telling you what the ranking bodies are saying man. Like you say though Taylor / Ramirez really need to fight it out but IMO as of right now Taylors beaten the tougher line up. Very much hope that match up comes together before long.

                  Like I say completely agree on GRJ with or without LSC in the division, I'm guessing the infrequency of Gary's fights is hurting him in the rankings.

                    Subject to change. Americans will be back on top by the end of this year.
