Smith, Walsh, and Clev are not seen as the best of British fighters by fight fans in Britain, they are not really world class to be brutally honest and just picked up belts or in Walsh's case got a shot at one through their promoters working it well for them.
there are lot's of British fighters who are world class and hold their own and win at the top level - Degale, Selby, Frampton, now Joshua, recently Froch, Calzaghe. Those guys are actually the real best of British.
Brook get's unfair hate, he is a world class welter - I think Spence jr is better than Thurman, and now Floyd has retired will go on to be number one at welter. Spence admitted that brook was rocking him with his power in the first half of their fight, and brook was definitely winning at the half way point. Losing to Spence in an exciting fight isn't the failure a lot of people on here are making it out to be.
Clev over achieved in picking up two belts tbh. He started out believing he was the next Calzaghe, but apart from fitness and bravery, he was very limited.
