1952 If not Assirati....Who ?

I notice someone is making a big effort to try and get Championship lineage into Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Heavyweight_Championship

I had always thought that when Bert Assirati went on his huge tour that Ernie Baldwin was the champ , until Bert came Home.

.

Now we are starting to see a bigger picture

With wrestling being a Sports Entertainment I think it might be flogging a dead horse , but for sure it can be a bit of fun.

I do have a burning question though , and whilst we can take a stab on reputations , Bernard is probably the only man we have on here who could give us a witness account of how good these guys were.

I also want to throw in Billy Joyce who had plenty of experience by 1952 (was he too light then)

So , how about it and especially Bernard.

Can you split Baldwin , Rawlings , Sullivan , Mancelli , Joyce , perhaps Orford and is there anyone else.

Could any of them have been clearly the best man to hold that belt for a sustained period.

Good luck to whoever is doing WIKI , because while I was doing Leicester I found this 1955 bill that shows Dai Sullivan to be champ yet again after his 1953 listing.

And of course at this stage Dale Martins had not joined Joint Promotions , so was it all down to Morrell.

So many championship changes after all those years Doug Clark (1930's) and Assiratti (1940's and beyond)

Did it spoil the reputations of these champs or was it a good thing. Did the promoters struggle to make their minds up.
