Can't remember how out all panned out. If i'm right :
Fury was stripped. Frampton vacated his titles, moved up, won a title then lost it. Bellew vacated.
Haskins lost his to Burnett. Burns to Indongo, Crolla to Linares, Brook to Spence. DeGale to Truax.
Flanagan, Joshua, Yafai, Selby, BJS still have theirs. If counting 'regulars' McDonell has vacated (i think) and Cleverly lost his to Jack.Comment

I am an American boxing fans who never chants USA and appreciates good boxers no matter where they come from. England was the birthplace of boxing and the UK has many good fighters as Saunders just showed us.I know the size and population of the UK. Texas is much bigger than any other state and the USA has lots of good fighters too like Crawford, Spence and Thurman. I never use football as an excuse because not even one USA heavyweight champ of the past would have been good enough at football to make a living at it. Football isn't robbing us of good boxers because boxing and football are two completely different sports with different requirements. Many of us American boxing fans appreciate a good UK boxer just as much as we would appreciate an American boxer of equal quality. Saunders and Eubank are looking great to me now and AJ and Fury are two of the best heavyweights.Americans like you make me laugh it's bittersweet to hear you talk like that.Everyone knows around the globe Americans have a intellectual Problem which is impossible to cure.They dont teach you that the UK is the size of Texas or equivalent to one US State.Bearing in Mind,UK probably has a quarter of Boxing gyms the US has,nevermind the difference in Coaching Quality between America and Britain.You ******s have all the advantages and should be dominating the Sport but you dont.Are you going to use the American Football bull**** excuse,Football,Rugby,Cricket,Darts are all more popular sports than Boxing in the UK and we can still match you in most divisions.For your Population and Resources the Stereotype is right,u pricks are a bunch of overweight,spoiled,entitled nation.Comment

This thread predictably turned into a **** show soon enough once it filled up with 'patriots'.
I'm expecting that come next year British World Champs will fluctuate greatly again as at the moment there's a lot of money here so weak champions (like Ali, Traux etc) will be over here selling their titles whilst weaker British champions will undoubtedly lose theirs!Comment

In 2004 Amir khan was the only boxer in the Olympics for us at 17... Now we put more into it.Comment

Trust me,African Americans are just too good at Physical Sports.I dont know the name of all your Major Sports,NBA,NFL take probably more than 70% of the Talent away.We need America back onsite for Boxing,it is still the mecca and the holy place for Boxing.MGM,Las Vegas,HBO you cant top that ****.What is the Problem with US Boxing,is it because all of the fights are hidden behind PPV.I feel sorry for you lot,you shouldnt have to pay $100 for fights.From a Outsider looking in Mayweather has killed your Boxing,His fights has drained your market and the Pacquiao Match didnt live up to it's hype.Tbh,the whole world was angry at Mayweather for the fight.I am an American boxing fans who never chants USA and appreciates good boxers no matter where they come from.

So Epic fail there!
The NBA NFl, etc excuse has PROVEN to be the most laughable ******est excuse ever!!!! It got laughed out of the game. It's like loads of countries saying football and rugby took their best athletes
Boxing is Bright with Lomachenko , Golovkin Alvarez, Usyk gonna the stars.
And in 2 years when Filip Hrgovic Ko's MAN LIKE FEMI! He'll be the star of the heavyweight divisionComment
