Comments Thread For: Hearn Feels British Boxing Will Stay Strong Despite Less Champs

[petero]

I like Josh, I can imagine winning a belt or two.

He will be getting the WBC within a year or two, he is ranked higher than everyone who is above him in wbc rankings. He's #5 in b.c. 6 in the world rankings. And only 11 fights.

He's a good fighter. Strong & Smart!

The slimy cùnt Hearn is obviously aware that the AJ hype train is about to come to an end one way or another very soon just like the Kell The Bum Slayer Brooks came to a complete end and it won't be long before he runs out of decent boxers. With the exception of Josh Kelly, who does he have that will possibly dominate the sport in the future? Then you look over at Warrens stable with BoxNation, the McGuigans, the independent self promoters working with networks like ITV, Haye and Schaeffer...Hearn is going to end up as the next Kelly Maloney.

Most of the best boxers and prospects in Britain are NOT with Hearn.

Is this Tyson Fury speaking? You couldn' have said it any better.

Yea well said .Benn is an accident waiting to happen and Kelly looks the part .Really looking forward to how he fares and it seems with Adam Booth we won't have to wait long.

Agree on all counts, Benn is entertaining though, unfortunately before he even reaches the top flight americans, he's going to meet a Mexican style fighter who will absolutely punish him for stepping up

[Boxing42]

Kelly can drop a weight division apparently. I hope he holds up as he steps up he could be a real asset to boxing.

Agreed on the other two, their ok but not winning world titles.

You mean drop to 147 right? Because I think he's fighting in between 147-154 right now

[PensionKiller]

yeah british boxing will continue to stay strong. got some superb talent coming through, the likes of joe joyce, josh kelly and connor benn amongst others

That list is pretty terrible tbh. They aren't talented if you look at the divisions

[Mick Higgs]

With Hearn getting more involved with fights in the USA, I'd like to him to showcase some of his prospects on the undercards.

[Sparked_26]

To be fair they could probably get up to that kind of figure again by fighting weak title holders. But the appetite for that has gone. There is interest in this country now that needs to be exploited.

Okolie vs Chamberlain will likely sell out the 02. What's it for? A southern Area title?

13 was never a true reflection. Lee Haskins winning a title told us we'd reached saturation point.

[Randall Cunning]

So we've got 6, didn't realise it had gone so low. Quiggs a live dog against Valdez, Degales rematch, Smith/Brook queuing for Ali, Flanagan fighting for vacant, maybe Taylor and Andrew Selby fight for a title.

Could be back up to 12. Burnetts most likely going to fight Brits for the best part of the year. Selby title be in British hands, same with Groves'.

[P4Pdunny]

dont think benn will be a world title holder unless he shows dramatic improvement, too gung ho and not sound defensively enough
