Is not made for us..
Look how man disasters we have had all these hype jobs going down like a sack of potatoes.. have we had a no1 P4P champ? only guy we had was Lewis even he spent most of his youth(peak) In Canada..
Like they say "Boxing is a poor mans sport" But here is UK these boxers are spoon fed from day dot..
Seems like a troll thread, but i'll bite. The UK actually produces and has produced some great champions. Randy Turpin was the second guy to beat SRR i think. Herol Graham also a great fighter. Eubank, Benn, Lewis, Bruno. Calzaghe is a recent example, as is Hatton. Kell Brook looks a fighter. The UK def produces top talent.
I'm Irish but il support the uk here they always have had a steady stream of top fighters and great support also but something about the us that always the talent slick arrogant genius fighters

The UK has some good fighters, has done in the past and will in the future. All things considered we do ok for ourselves.
We have always had talent, we are certainly not dominant, but theres plenty who have it worse.
There is good fighters in the UK now, has been in the past and will be in the future. Not sure if its an over-reaction or an alt post..but all things considered our boxing is in a decent place.
It's just a sport dude.
Don't get so emotionally attached to it.
you'll only be let down when fat american vets like tony thompson rattle your boy's brain.
I think we have some very good fighters we just hype up guys with big power too much. Tbh I pretty much fell for the Price hype then I went and looked back at his fights not even detail and thought frankly he is awful and very very flawed.
A guy I do rate highly yet seems to get no hype/credit is Denton Vassell! Hes a damn good fighter and IMO the best welterweight we have behind Brook.
Where is Vassell at though?
Considering how small we are in size we pack a punch in MOST sports on the world stage. We can't win em all, that's just life.
We may not dominate in boxing but we hold our own as a sporting nation, have no doubt
Look at the size of our population!
The Brits at Heavyweight totally outclassed the US Heavyweights
The US has better divisions
What does it matter?
It's really sad you can try make a massive conclusion like this, when a fighter like DAVID PRICE loses a fight..... like seriously
It is sad that Fanbases can't be more HUMBLE, they have to run around and trash everybody else fighters so when their fighter goes down all you can do is laugh a little at them and let them enjoy their big Piece of Humble Pie
Price will bounce back I am sure but his fanbase was a little annoying and needed to be humbled!
Amir Khan is talented, and so are Kell Brook and Fury. The other guys not so much...
Carl Froch is very good too, but he is getting old and is on his way out.
Honestly man, there's absolutely no need to even go that far. British boxing has produced some very good fighters over the years and they currently have a P4P champion right now. Boxing is for anyone who has the desire to become great at their craft. I'm not sure if boxing is the sport you should be watching though, if you're gonna get upset every time a country man loses.
See, idiotic price fans?
See what I have to put up with because of morons like you
You and the Green Mile both got it right.
Price isnt finished though.
Dont give up hope man. Just enjoy it and hope for the best. Filipinos just had one recent P4P fighter in Pacquiao (they also have Donaire) and IMO they produce less and lesser boxers than Brits/Euros (no disrespect to Filipinos).
You guys have Froch who has a good case for being top 10 P4P and Brook is about to get his shot.
what are you talking about .if anything , there are more pinoy fighters now than before. boxingscene p4p list has 3 pinoy fighters out of 10, it cant get any better than that
and since the inauguration of the p4p list , outside of chavez sr and pacquiao, all the p4p kings have all been americans with 1 being mexican americans in delahoya..calzaghe came the closest to being one @ number 2.
this just means that the list does'nt measure anything coz there countries which have never had a p4p king but have produced more champions than the philippines such as the japan ,puerto rico, thailand , argentina , britain etc.
with cuba, i think the closest you guys to having a p4p fighter is gamboa, lol, just not sure.

I dont think highly of Alexander but I wouldnt call losing to Alexander is being exposed. Im pulling for Brook to win but if he doesn't Id blame his handlers and lack of experience at the top level.
Depends on how Brook loses. If he loses a close decision then that's probably due to his inexperience. However, if he gets dominated like I am fairly certain will happen then he will defiantly be the next in a long list of over hyped British boxers to pad their record with nobody's only to lose when finally step up the competition.
