English is English ...it's not the stone ages son

Exactly. It should suffice to say that the uk is running the table right now. Good for the limies. The uk fans deserve it the way they support their guys.

It's funny how you brits cant stop bragging about Furys accomplishments but when it comes to supporting him none of you guys do. Instead he gets ridiculed and hurled racists ephits all day that's why he's moving to Los Angeles

I'm not bragging about his accomplishments ...he's a world champion so I wrote it down , the thing is america ruled boxing for decades they produced some of the greatest fighters in history but eras change and country's adapt ..it's no differnt to football years we dominated all the not so well know country's but now they've caught up with us....it's happened to you with boxing now....just enjoy the boxing and embrace it son

Alright good post

[techliam]

Heavyweight = fury & Joshua
Cruiserweight = Tony bellew
Super middlweight = James Degale
Middleweight = billy Joe Saunders
Light middlweight = Liam smith
Welterweight = kell brook
Light welterweight = Ricky burns
Lightweight = Anthony crolla & terry Flanagan
Featherweight = Lee selby
Super bantamweight = was WBA and IBF Carl frampton until vacating
Bantamweight = Jamie McDonnell & Lee Haskins

The moral of this post is don't f@ck with the English lol

Burns, Selby and Frampton aren't English

Fury is the only one who stands out though

[maddad2001]

Im English. I think Eddie hearn just plays the boxing abc titles really well. He usually pops up and slides his fighters into vacant belt fights or weak champions. Brook hasn't fought any elite fighters since winning a strap. Burns wont last long at light welter ( hopefully terence will finally get that world title fight missed from lightweight). Most our champions are the b side of the title frame. Only one standing out is Tyson Fury.

Froch as a world champion. At least he fought the best and toughest out there.

[maddad2001]

Great Briton may have a healthy amount of champions currently. But I'll tell you now, by mid 2017. Only 3-4 of those guys will still be world champions. So it won't be a UK domination of boxing. Dont forget most these guys hold one version of their respective divisions and arguably are paper champions and by no means are dominating divisions. Only one is again tyson fury (aj is holding furys belt stripped off him) after beating lineal champion

Well done! UK can be proud of its fighters.

Some of them are not for long thought:

BJS (MW) is up there till he finds balls to face the real champ - GGG.

New crowned Bellew - he's a weak champ that will loose to either Drozd or Lebedev if he's up to unifying.

Cheers

[maddad2001]

Fury, degale, crolla, haskins, selby and hopefully bellew (doubt it tho). May survive the longest. The rest are doomed once they try unify. Mcdonell is a fake regular wba champion /doesnt count

I agree ...Bellew won't last long but fair play to him....imagine if gassieve gets hold of him ...BJS is just a temporary belt holder...gollovkin is the man of course !!!!

That was a great performance from Bellew. He out thought and out fought Makabu for as long as it lasted.

Watching a puncher pushed back on his heels trying to counter punch off the ropes was bewildering! That left hook made him pay for his inexperience in a big way.
