    Maybe, but I think for sure top level British fighters actually based in the UK will decrease in a few years unless the TV situation changes over there.

      I think you have a valid point, Sky need to pull the finger out.

        I definitely agree.

        All that money that the British government put into sports in our country is finally paying off.

          I'd put all 4 of my limbs on the line for these 4 guys.

          They will certainly rule their division.

          That's a promise.

            David Price (Olympian)

            Kell Brook
            Jamie Cox
            Amir Khan (Olympian)
            Frankie Gavin (Olympian)
            John Murray
            Liam Walsh
            Kevin Mitchell
            Gary Sykes
            Martin Lindsay
            Paul Appleby
            Ryan Walsh
            Stephen Smith
            Joe Murray (Olympian)
            Rendall Munroe
            Michael Walsh
            Don Broadhurst
            Ashley Sexton

            These fighters have all shown great potential early in there careers, some have won different titles but none have peaked just yet. A lot of them are prospects.

            British Boxing right is the strongest it has ever been.

            I seriously think Great Britain is on the verge of a Boxing boom with all these guys. What i'm hearing too is theres another batch of youngsters just as good ready to follow them.

              Ricky was never a big hype, the fact that he attracted so many fans was what he was hyped about.

              Not about his fighting skills.

                I dont remember many flopping to be honest who wern't picked as victims (Lockett and Jennings types). Hatton is 4-2 in his fights in the States, 2 defeats against P4P #1 guys. Thats hardly a flop.

                  All I see is a long list of glass jaws, apart from Froch.

                    4 class fighters, id like to see Kell tighten up his defence though he leaves his chin out to dry a bit to much, typical Ingle fighter. He's young and can work on it. Get the chin down and the hands up faster and he's the goods.

                      "British Boxing ready to dominate the Sport?"




                      British boxing DIED this year, laddy.


                      It's all right here.... http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=276880


                      and just when the brits thought they were coming up....


                      Calzaghe retires.

                      Hatton gets absolutely decimated and exposed. It becomes an embarrassment of gargantuan proportions to the UK and the Hatton fans.

                      Haye writes checks with his mouth, and we find out his ass couldn't cash them. He was their last hope. And boy, what a longshot of a hope he was. Him backing out today was the proverbial nail in the coffin...



                      My condolences...


                      Now I know some of you might come in here saying you still have your 2nd stringers, Froch and Khan, but are you REALLY confident in them two? No. You're not.

                      In fact, I know you know in your heart of hearts, deep in the middle of all your nationalistic bias and blindness, that they are both destined to fail...


                      I'm thinking it will take at least 10 years for british boxing to rise from the grave again...

                      lol...the british ready to dominate boxing....that's a good one...
