    Haye automatically decapitates any US heavyweight anyway, you're sentence is the definition of irrelevance in relation to the thread topic. Next!

    When dumb yanks try to be witty and smart they just embarrass themselves.

      USA population - 305,689,000 - 7 World Champions
      UK population - 60,000,000 - 4 World Champions

      5x the population of the UK and only 3 more champs.

      I'm just sayin'

        That's a lie. I generously gave Froch the fight by a couple of rounds because Dirrell fought a sh#t fight in the first half, but Dirrell outlanded Froch. Even if I say Froch won that fight, it was definitely not in a one sided beatdown and neither easy, if he had to get a SD to win in his own hometown

        Amir Khan can beat Berto, Judah, Bradley and Alexander
        Agreed

        David Haye can beat Arreloa and Holyfield
        Agreed

        Hatton can beat Mosley if he comes back at 147 with a nutrionalist
        Lol no. Unless he learns to stop walking in with his chin up in the air

        EDIT

        Nevermind. You were taking the piss -_-... Either way I did think Froch won that fight

          That is true but there is other factors than just belts. Do we knock a fighter just because he doesn't have a strap? Obviously we don't or we shouldn't. Look at Chad Dawson and Paul Williams. For a long time they had belts but they lost to two really talented fighters, I certainly wouldn't call them bums. It doesn't matter though I think we all realize that this was a poor thread.

            This is a fairer comparison. Imo, Yanks are currently underachieving and we are doing well.

                It's dumb if you ask me. British boxing has a lot to look forward to. Degale, Gavin, Saunders, Groves, Murray, Brook and Cleverly all could shake things up. Prospect wise Britian has maybe the deepest talent pool but we all know prospects don't always pan out.

                  Talent? No. Fighter exposure? Yes.

                    Not a valid comparison imo. You need to compare the number of champions vis-a-vis the number of professional boxers, not the total population. Its a moot point anyway because MEXICO owns all (I believe they have 12 or so world champs)

                    VIVA MEXICO
