    I think you can make a damn good argument. . I agree with you. . . Except Chisora, I don't think he beats any of them except Johnson.

    If anything, they certainly have a more exciting horizon, and more support behind their HW scene.

    The Brit boxing scene in general is in a very good place right now with the likes of Froch leading the way. Khan loss to Garcia was a setback, but I still think Khan dispatches him in a rematch, and is a lot more popular in USA than most American boxers.

    I'd argue that the real HW scene rests From Germany, eastward, and upward to Russia, though. . .

    I'm glad that boxing is no longer centralized in USA, and dominated by Americans - it's always been a global sport, but now more than ever it has the feel of a true international sport.

      The whole of Europe? No.
