Maybe if guys like you weren't so nationalistic threads like this would not be created. All I hear from brits is Anthony Joshua's resume. Charles Martin, old Vlad's and Povetkin and you guys act like his record is full of star studded hall of famers. I guess Yarde's resume was impressive as well! I won't bother responding again. It's not worth it. You guys are fans of british boxers not fans of boxing.
The Brits are on suicide watch

I was reading up on it recently and some of the points you are making seem pretty valid but Joshua and Yarde seem to gas out much quicker than a lot of other muscular dudes. These guys seem winded very early in fights. If it is the "larger muscles require more oxygen" then these guys should try a different conditioning program. Obviously genetics play a huge part but why put yourself at such a disadvantage? Personally I believe that there are other factors as well. Anxiety and improper breathing can tire you out as well!
What redd foxx said is correct but you are correct too other factors can contribute like improper breathing, too tense, not relaxing your fists when youre not throwing punches etcComment

Eh? What are you on about? So some utter tool makes an anti Brit thread just for the enjoyment of it cuz he hates the Brits and its the Brits fault. LOL. He made it the sad dosser.Maybe if guys like you weren't so nationalistic threads like this would not be created. All I hear from brits is Anthony Joshua's resume.

Well, yes, British fans had to be feeling badly about Yarde.
He came close in the 8th, and then gassing out on a jab.
Did you see Bunce interviewing him? The guy was almost in tears. He kept yelling at Yarde to be proud, and to know he did his best, rah-rah-rah.
Of course there have been plenty of great British fighters over the years (we're also talking Scotland and Wales). There have also been a few who seem to be prouder of a different heritage (Amir Khan is one of those, and so is the so-called "Gypsy King" who hardly ever describes himself as proud of being British).
We've seen some good scraps and courageous fights from a variety of today's British men, including Crolla, Frampton, Campbell, Saunders, Warrington, Selby, and Smith (or should it be the Smith brothers?). Throw in Whyte, the well-known typing error, and add Dogboe (just on name alone). "Britain's Got Talent!"Comment

Thanks for the input. Your points all make sense. I always wondered why fighters with stamina issues don't focus more on breathing and relaxation techniques. Unless they do and it's not working.Comment

If bragging made you the best then Fury is the best. If you have to prove it in the ring by beating the best he never dd that and beating up on guys nobody ever heard of is proving nothing. AJ was the number 1 guy with most of the belts. Fury had years to fight AJ but never even tried. Ruiz jumped at the chance to fight AJ and he beat him. Fury gets no credit for what Ruiz did. Ruiz and Wilder are the champs and Fury is champ of nothing right now. If he wants to be number 1 he has to fight the other champs and beat them. Beating Wlad years ago doesn't make him number 1 today. He might be the best heavyweight but he must prove it in the ring against the champions.

The Brits on here are insufferable but ****ting on Yarde rubs me the wrong way. His performance was so far from what Joshua and Khan exhibited.Comment
