How many world champs is that now for the UK?

[NEETzsche]

we have one real champ in tyson fury, and if they successfully unify titles in their next fights, then i'd call brook and degale de facto champions

i would also pick mcdonnell to beat yamanaka, but obviously the fight needs to actually be made before we can credit him for it. as things stand he's not even the #1 WBA bantam

also if frampton beats santa cruz i think he'll have the best featherweight win of anyone currently in the division

i'm proud of the depth of talent in UK boxing at the moment though. i think we certainly have more legit contenders in a wider range of divisions than we've had before in my lifetime at least. and judging by our amateur success in recent years this is not a blip but the beginning of a trend

broner is the real wba champ. burns is just the fancy named interim champ

The sad reality is, Burns is the legit WBA champ at 140. Broner lost his title on the scales in his last fight

I'm not sure why a lot of posters here are proclaiming British prestige for all these titles that shouldn't be around. Smith is another one. Some of these titlists don't even make the top 10. We should be celebrating how many top 10 fighters we have, because we have quite a few, as well as the fact that the Heavyweight Champion of the World is once again British

I'm pretty high on Mcdonell, but he's a title holder. He isn't even the legit WBA champion. But my problem with his resume is, he hasn't fought Payano, Moreno or Yamanaka, who all arguably just as good resumes at the weight. Theres no argument at all to suggest he's the best in the division, as much as I want him to be.



Yeah Brook and Degale are in a similar situation - their no.1 rankings (differ from place to place) are there because someone has to be no.1, other fighters lost and/or retired so they got it by default. Wins over Thurman/Garica and Jack would establish them as the man to beat in their divisions. Theres not much separating Brook/Thurman/Garcia, and Jack/Degale/Ramirez right now

DeGale and Jack are a step or 2 above Ramirez.

I personally have Bradley as no. 1 at welter but Brook is a firm second.

[HanzGruber]

And they're only the best fighter in 2 of those divisions. Even that is debatable

Britain is the most dominant boxing nation at the moment P4P

I now know why most of the British people don't support me, it's coz I'm a gypsy & don't fly the British flag, pic.twitter.com/K1ypfcNZm9
