          Significant Bump for those who are overrating Eubank, Benn, et al...

          No more Super Middleweight division for you...

          We OWN IT.

            What if Ward moves up?

            And then you have Dirrell, who is a headcase and will be KO'd at some stage.

              I'd hate to see British boxing die because it's always fun to see the best Americans outclass and dismantle their best. All jokes aside, British boxing is still okay and if it were to die off it would not be good for the sport. Whenever you lose a powerful team(nation in this case) that is rich in tradition, it isn't a good thing. It be the same thing if Mexico, United States, or Perto Rico bit the dust.

                We'll be ok. America will obviously produce better fighters on average for the obvious reasons.

                However, we'll always have champions, as we have: enough good fighters, powerful promoters, and a devoted Boxing public.

                The Olympics will be key for Britain. There is a lot of money floating around in the Amateur scene. Britain should record their best ever boxing Olympics haul this summer.

                I'm proud of a Brits at the minute. Even our decent guys are doing well these days, Macklin, Barker, and Murray all done well in their big fights. The only British fighters I thought were disappointing in their title shots were Ryan Rhodes and David Haye.

                Our promoters have realised it's not about babying these guys, and a world title shot is the pinnacle of a man's career. Hence, why Chisora will get put in with Vitali, why not? Our guys are good for boxing at the moment.

                Saying that, it is important for British boxing that we spawn a star, as it really does determine the profile of boxing in this country. And for hardcore boxing fans, how much overseas boxing is televised. I don't think we currently have that star. Khan and Froch are the only world-class fighters we have.

                We do have have good television fighters though: Cleverly, Burns, Mitchell, Brook, Macklin, Barker, Frampton, Quigg, DeGale, Groves, Rees, Del boy, Martin Murray, John Murray.
