Comments Thread For: British Boxing Took Some Bumps and Bruises in 2011

[BritishBoxing92]

These robotic one dimensional British boxers cannot match wits and talents with elite slick American boxers. They should have stayed in Europe where they belong. They cannot match with the world elite. Americans have single handily killed of British boxing

"took some bumps and bruises"?..."Annus Horribilus"?...lol...those are understatements...

More like it was "drawn and quartered"...or "put out of its misery"...

listen to these two thinking its all over we will come back sooner or later we always do we take the losses like men not like a bunch of pussies unlike some people who i know, whether you like it or not now drink this you cry babies

When the haters stop hating and become apathetic, that's when we'll know British boxing is in trouble.

As we can see in this thread, for now and the foreseeable future, it's all good.

Lots of good up-and-comers in the UK:

Price
Brook
Groves
Quigg

Yeah, I'd leave Khan out of this one though. IMO Peterson would not have won that fight anywhere else on the planet but Dc.

However that fight did show that Khan was not this world beater some thought that he was.

I also really cannot think any less of Froch. He fought gamely against the best fighter in his weight class. I have points with a gentleman that he beats Bute if they meet next year, which I'm certain that he will.

Sports like rugby, cricket and golf are taking our world class athletes away from boxing.
