Only 7 British World Champs

[Sid-Knee]

Not really it's just those weights don't get the same attention but he beat some very good Mexican fighters in addition to other very good fighters. Before he got locked up and got a little old he was completely untouchable. A complete fighter.

I give any fighter who's good attention. Doesn't matter what weight they are. Johnson was very good no doubt, but you've got to admit a lot of the fighters he fought weren't very good?

Isn't that the same for every fighter? Johnson got his share of quality wins in too and did so in such a fashion it's hard to deny him as being a worthy hall of famer.

This kind of silly thread is pointless... 7 "world" champs isn't bad for a small country like the UK. (population: just over a fifth of the US).

The fact that Deontay Wilder is listed as a US champ says a lot.

I'm the one who's biased?? Have you reread what you wrote??

And yes, I do know who Johnson is. He was a very good fighter but nothing more. Most of who he fought were bogus.

Yeah Too Sharp Johnson isn't HOF worthy IMO I agree.

But he's been inducted already.

LOL!...keep clinging to bull**** that doesn't matter....where's all your TOP PFP Professionals?

You've had like 2 fleeting Top 5 PFPers in 25 years!...the Jamaican-Canadian, Lewis and "Above Average" Joe Calzaghe...that is terrible.


Yes really...thank you for proving my point.

"But, but we have Groves and Saunders!"....lol

#teamusa greatest of all time

[The Truth!]

UK for their population are extremely good at boxing goes without saying.

UK had more world champions than USA last year, USA has more now, maybe next year UK will have more again we'll see.

Russia and Ukraine seem to have the most P4P type talents thats pretty obvious,

UK I would say have better prospects than the USA coming up, cause we have better amateurs than yanks. So the future will be better for the UK. Theres a long list of UK talent coming up.

USA have everything on a plate. Tv deals, promoters,privelege, corrupt Judges and referess like in the Kovalev- Ward fights. They make up approx 50% of all active registered pro boxers, yet they still don't dominate. You have a high quantity of boxers yet you lack the quality,

Lets be real - USA are only doing well in the 147 and 154 divisions thats it.
Middleweight up to heavyweight it's all about the UK and Eastern Europeans.

Wilder -bum who cannot box all he has is a punch, He's been protected from the best, As soon as he faces a top 5 guy his glass jaw will be all over the canvas. And Average guys like Szpilka and Washington outboxed him.

Benavidez- not seen him but heard he struggled with Ronald Gavril who is crap. 168 is a weak division.

Truax - haha awful journeyman will lose in his next fight

Hurd - Has zero defence. Brook would knock this average guy Out.

Charlo - Overrated, average

Ali - probably the worst 'world champion' in the sport right now, got some shot out of nowhere in a division he wasn't even in against Cotto who was completely over the hill. He's terrible and it's extremely likely he loses in his first defence, so if I was him I'd sell my belt to the highest bidder cause he'd get whooped by anyone.

Easter Jr - crap. Shafikov beat him. Loma would make this guy look completely ****** lol.

never seen the midgets.

I only rate three - Russell Jr who Loma schooled, Spence and Mikey Garcia,

Usa champs at
Cruiserweight - ZERO
Light Heavyweight - ZERO
Middleweight - ZERO
Super featherweight - ZERO
Featherweight - ZERO
Bantamweight - ZERO

You dominate **** all

147/154 are the only divisions you do well in. But unfortunately for you theres loads of top Eastern Europeans and UK fighters coming up in those weights who were former top amateurs. I could name them all if you want. So it'll be Bye Bye to those divisions too.

the threadstarter is an arab what the **** does this guy Know about boxing lol, his race cannot fight to save their lives!

McDonnell vacated and Saunders is risking his belt tonight. Could be down to 5 in a couple hours.

If we take that you mean GB, the population is ~66 million.

The population for Mexico and the United States is ~445 million.
So per capita the British are much better off.

MUUUUCH better off, not to mention Britain has had far superior amateur boxers, titles and medals in recent years.



Really?

AJ is king at heavyweight.

Groves is likely the best upset middle and his closest competitors are brits also lol

BJS is the best middleweight outside of GGG and possibly Canelo.

Oh look.. another thread where someone from a country that has a populace 5x time the size gloats that they have 2x the world champions..

It doesn't matter where youre from.. half the champs are undeserving when you truly look into their records or analyse who they could face or would lose to if they did face..

Champs are where the money is.. not necessarily where who the best are. The UK when we had the same amount of champs not too long ago probably had 2 thirds that would have got smashed if they faced the best in their division ... The same goes for half of the boxers from the states.

Team USA full of inactive fighters.
Pathetic Boxing Champions = PBC.
I'd rather see them disappear forever.

This isn't a thread bashing the UK, I'm just wondering what happened, I was amazed of how much champs were British not too long ago, now it's less than half of before
