good thing boxing is a world sport.

...and I wouldnt consider Pacquiao the best fighter of the last 20 years without some more looking into it. 20 years is a long time. youve got to consider that hes in competition with guys like Roy Jones Jr, Mayweather Jr, Hopkins, and technically you could even throw Whitaker in there, since he was in the middle portions of his Lightweight career in 1990.

whoops, you said 10 years. nevermind. ha.

Get the decade right damn it. It's 2001-2007, then 2009 and 2010.

[QUOTE=Demise;8387114]Britain's domestic scene is the strongest it's ever been. Even in the days of Lewis, Hatton and Calzaghe we haven't had so many top prospects. Tonight, one of our best prospects failed to pass the test.

Mitchell wasn't exposed and Mitchell isn't a bum. He's just an inexperienced fighter who took on a challenge. You criticize our fighters when they take it safe and fight easy fights and you criticize our fighters when they step-up against tough opposition and lose.



Mitchell isn't inexperienced he's been a protected fighter. He's basically fought a bunch of tomato cans and when he has to step up to an A-/B+ fighter in Katsidis, he was exposed. Its hard to have 31 fights and be inexperienced. His only a B level fighter, he best fight was Prescott and other then the lucky bomb he dropped on Khan, I'm hard pressed to call him a B fighter.

The world turns and the UK will be back on top at some point in boxing and even though I'm an American, I'm routing for you. I love countries/people that love their fighters. Wish it where the same here in America. We sadly have a lot more sports for people to choose from and boxing is no longer a prime sport here. We need a HW like Tyson to get that interest going again sadly.

Britain's boxing scene is small but dedicated. Our fighters don't tend to have a great amateur boxing background, so it's amazing how we produce top fighters.

However, at the Beijing Olympics we had a huge success. DeGale winning gold and BJS, Jeffries and Price winning bronzes ( I think? ). Frankie Gavin, who's only a 7 fight novice is Britain's first amateur world champion.

Isn't that crazy?

Like I said, our domestic scene is looking the strongest it ever has. In the next decade, Britain will have big successes in boxing. I'm so thrilled and confident at our current prospects.
