Gary Buckland?

Not everyone is going to be world championship material.
In fact no I am not going to try defend him as he is pretty awful & I probably shouldn't of listed him though I do believe he has shown signs of improvement

[dan_cov]

yeah i agree with what you said i still cant help but like haye and khan tho but haye annoys me more khan has the skill but he just sees red rather than stay on the outside but on the whole we have some outstanding talent coming through two guys who have just had 3 and 4 fights respectively are mitchell smith and brad saunders they are the **** listen out for those you will be hearing alot about those two

I'd actually have no problem with Haye if he just stayed more active and give us fans the fights we want to see.

He'd probably win most/all but I'd love to see him in there with Povetkin, Chambers (Who I strongly believe beat Adamek with one hand) even Arreola, hell even the Pulev/Ustinov loser I think would be interesting.

Its easy to say he wins by K.O and he probably would but IMO hes a vulnerable fighter whose best win is probably Chisora. I think all the above are a cut above Delboy.

If he took Povetkins 0 for example, I'd be on the hypetrain and begging to see Haye vs Vitali before he hits 70

I just hope burns doesn't fight Scott Harrison although I would watch it.

yeah thats what boils me abt haye he could and would beat those guys but he hasnt got the time for them imo he has a huge chance to build and make his legacy abit more unforgettable haye could be busy for at least 3-4 years without a klitschko

Are you even British?

Because it would appear you don't know what you're talking about...

Mitchell receives some hype from his showing against Prescott, Murray & Johanneson. The only time he really looked vulnerable was in the Kats fight and people put that down to a lack of experience and not knowing what to do when hurt. Evidently, this has not changed.

DeGale is an Olympic gold medallist.

Kell Brook has conquered the domestic scene, beat some good European opposition and is now on his way to the top. He received a lot of attention after the Hatton win and the only thing the Jones fight highlighted is the fact Brook needs a strength & conditioning coach.

Cleverly is a disgrace and does not deserve to be holding a world title. He looked promising early on and had a big win against Murat, stagnated since and has regressed. He's the Welsh fighter now so he's always going to have a lot of publicity.

Haye's best win is not Chisora - educate yourself.


British boxing has always been like this, the term hype-job is synonymous with our fighters. It won't change until they get matched harder early on.

Please tell me who Hayes best win is against then please?

After the Mitchell defeat, one i saw coming I feel way too many British fighters are overrated and fancied for no apparent reason.

Take Mitchell, we know he sometimes lacks heart and work ethic but yet people still talk about him like he's world class.

Regardless of wether he trained hard enough for Katsidis a man with supposdly that much talent should surley beat a man who evreytime he's stepped up to an opponent of any class gets school and/or stopped.

In contrast I believe Burns is underrated, people always bet against him but the fact is he's a very dynamic fighter who can go on to compete against the best in America.

To join Mitchell you have Kell Brook Believes his own hype and has fought opponents he's never had to get out of 2nd gear to beat.

Looked average at best against Carson Jones who you all picked to be murdered by Brook's feather fisted hands.

Haye, Cleverley, DeGale are all hughly overrated just as Khan and Naseem were once before their souls were taken by a schooling here and a knockout or two there.

Hayes record at any weight is appaling, embarrassing when the best guy you have fought is Chisora after 3 years of parading round like the reincarnation of Ali.

The real Daddy of British Boxing is Froch hes proved himself taken tough fights lost, comeback and never shyed away from fighting away from home.

Apart from him and to a point Ricky Burns British boxing at the moment is a bit of a joke.

Cue Ricky Hattons comeback.

Nice fishing, Princess

Now work on your spelling & come back another time.

Mormeck.

He has a few wins that are better than Chisora.

Mormeck at Cruiser means very little, the cruiserweight resume of haye means very little and the Cruiserweight division itself is the ugly ******** sister of all other weight divisions.

Chisora is Hayes best win, but i respect your opinion, thought you were going to say Valuev.

I'm glad you made it so easy for me to see you were a troll.

Mormeck was the man at CW when Haye beat him.
