    British based fighters need decent trainers.

    I am yet to see an elite fighter to fight out of Britain that could work behind his jab, keep his hands high or throw punches correctly. I am obviously talking about the current generation, these guys just need a better, more schematic schooling, it's like they were brought to gym, just left hanging around the punching bag and then picked up 10 years later to participate in professional prize fighting.

    When you say 'current generation', do you mean the well know fighters like Haye, Froch and Khan? If so then yer, you're right. Froch and Haye especially. They're knock outs waiting to happen.

    Haye showed the other night that his got too many bad habits that won't get fixed. Both his hands are always too low and his head movement is woeful.

      he might have bad head movement, but at least he has SOME head movement, unlike 99% of other h/w's!

        I agree to an extent but that was in reference to him beating one of the Klitschko brothers. He'll need more then 'some' head movement if he wants to get out of the way of say, one of Wlad's jabs with an overhead right following it. If he gets lambed with one of them? - Goodnight David Haye.

          British fighters have an entertaining "hooligan" style. Better trainers would do some good.
