Why do British fighters tend to go down in dramatic fashion? - Page 2

I'd like to point out that Carl Froch was the first British boxer to medal at the amateur World championships back in 2001.

Frankie Gavin managed to win gold in 2007 World championships.

Britain won more medals at the 2011 World championships in Baku than they did between '01 - '11.

You know, monkey skeleton. I've had that same question too. It just comes down to them not having good defense or chins.

And just not being that good.

I think ability to stay calm. Ring IQ to be exact.

Hatton hurt, let's go chase Pac.

Khan hurt, let's not hug, but run or go to war.

David Haye got a silver in the same championships and Froch got a Bronze.

Not being that good i agree with. Not having good chins is bs.

beacause we produce good fighters who get a lot of pressure to perform? small island wanting to many boxrers to perform. we'll never see a boxer as great as sir eubank.

There are less of our fighters in the U.S. Seeing as the majority of you guys are only aware of other countries while at war with them, when a human being from one does well it obviously draws more attention.

British fighters have traditionally been referred to as "horizontal".....so it has been since the invention of the glove
