It is not the fighters. It is that the UK hype the fighters when they are not even proven.
When you brag and hype a fighter so much and the first time they get challenged by a world fighter they fold by the dotted lines.
The UK has produced a bunch of good fighters, when you hype the bad ones the good ones tend to get bunched up in that group.
Somebody mention Lewis. Ain't he a Jamaican via Canada that fought as a pro for the UK?

Golovkin SHOULD move his head, but he doesn't need to. He's unfazed.
As a ranked fighter Monzon was only dropped once. Even then, it was at the very end of his very long career, at the hands of one of the biggest punchers the Middleweight division has ever seen. But really, it is owed mostly to the fact that Valdez was trying to capitalize on the slow-starting Monzon not being warmed up yet. Once Monzon got it into gear, he ran away with the fight, just as he had their first encounter.
I dunno if Asians/Spanish have as good or better chins than Whites. Maybe. But I cannot think of anyone as tough as Mickey Walker or Harry Greb. Look up Joe Grim. McLarnin, Canzoneri, and Ross all come to mind too.
If you look at MMA, which is much more violent, it tends to be Whites, Asians/Latinos, Blacks in terms of ability to withstand punishment.
That's pretty much how nature works, too. Predators have to have higher pain tolerance than prey, whereas prey have to be more athletic and bigger.

I am reading a bunch of nonsense here. Good and great fighters show up wherever they show up. There is nothing about being born in America that would make someone a better boxer or have a better chin. There is nothing about being born in the UK that would make someone have a weaker chin or not do well on the big stage. All nonsense. If America has an edge on the number of good fighters it would be due to a much larger population and the law of averages. If the thread starter is only talking about black boxers from the USA vs black boxers from the UK it is still nonsense and not true.

Seriously, I'd love to see a 23&Me for Louis, Armstrong and Ali - they all claimed to have lots of White and Native American blood. It's likely that their African heritage was, at most, a plurality, never a majority.

American brothers like Mike Tyson, Errol Spence, Deontay Wilder, etc, may not have the same muscular bodies, but they are the ones that truly dominate at the top.
Why do UK brothers seem softer than their American counterparts? Is it culture? coaches? techniques? environment? genetics?
