Why do Brits dominate the Heavyweight scene?

[GOLDKING666]

The sport goes back to the 1800s and it is a British sport..

20 years is this generation.


The Brits are dominant now.

You need to learn how to deal with it.

Boxing became a MAINSTREAM sport in the 1920s and was made into a global sport by the USA. The greeks and romans were boxing thousands of years ago before your inbred country even existed.
The USA has more much more champions and p4p fighters than britain. FACT.

UK is best boxing nation on earth. So small yet produce more numbers. Yes, nel o is best around supermiddleweight. But we've got bjs, eubank, Callum smith. Just more depth.

the uk is the best at producing D level trash. Ukraines population (40 million) is nearly half of britains (70 million). Ukraine has loma, usyk, gvdosky, dalakian. Puerto Rico ( 4 million) has produced more ATG fighters than britain.

whats going on with the brits? why force it, just be great

when tyson was in his prime lewis was nowhere near ready to fight him. lewis is actually older than tyson by about a year. to through the timeline if you must. i'll give you a quick lesson.

do you really even know a lot about the division in the 90's? lewis didn't even have the support of the brits until he fought frank bruno. he was jamaican, fought for the olympic team in canada. lewis didn't gather the support of brits at all or gather a head of steam until he beat frank bruno in '93, while tyson was in prison. and he lost most of his momentum in his next big fight back in england, where he got knocked out by, you guessed it, an american named oliver mccall. lewis would not fight in england again until the turn of the century, six years later, and that was the LAST TIME HE EVER FOUGHT IN ENGLAND. brits didn't support lennox lewis until his career was well established and honestly, many of htem didn't really "claim him" until after he had retired. yall got some incredibly short memories and that's ebcuase you're not bright, old enough to remember, or willing to do the research.


it's just a fact that if you're well over six feet tall, muscular, and athletic that you'll be pressured into playing team sports both directly and indirectly. these kids get recruited from their mid teens. hell, we all knew who lebron james was when he was 15-16 years old and he had shoe companies waving around eight figure shoe contracts. lebron james secured a 90 million dollar shoe contract and turned down a nine figure contract. really! before he played a game of NBA basketball he was negotiating these contracts. he was on the cover of sports illustrated as a 17 year old.


it's very likely that deontay wilder would have gone to alabama to play basketball or football if he didn't have a sick child and need to make money. there are thousands of deontay wilders playing basketball and football in college right now. we are all deontay wilder.

i feel like ruiz hit joshua so hard in the first fight that it gave them all brain damage.


but in all honesty it's a small, insulated place and a lot of those guys come from several generations of inbreeding. go watch the jeremy kyle show and tell me those married couples aren't related by blood.

LOL man they start the worst threads and are very annoying on here, of course not all but its a plague amongst them

Because we are a fighting nation and have no interest in tiny fighters. How is someone like inoue a 'monster' when someone like whyte would knock him out in 10 seconds. Thats why funding interest and energy goes into the real sized fighters.

You guys hype the ****e out of fighters before theyve beaten anyone. Wasnt long ago that jermall charlo was hyped to beat canelo and golovkin before washed up rusty koborov outboxed him. Then the 'new sugar ray leonard' errol spence showed he was no better than shawn porter oh well guess you still got crawford and tank, no danger of them losing fighting the ****e opposition that they do, can pretend that they are the best

The lad was born and raised there for starters

Even Lewis lived in the uk unit he was 10 or 11 and then went back as an adult

By your logic lad ***** isn’t American because he lived overseas as a child

he grew up in Canada, and learned boxing in Canada. He represented Canada in the Olympics. Funny how you revisionist Brits want to claim Lennox now when you wanted nothing to do with him as a pro.

What do you mean by “grew up” he was almost a bloody teenager when he left England. It’s not like he was born there and right on a plane to Canada

Also there is no revisionism lad

You can say or think what you like but guess what lad, Lennox Lewis fights for the UK and considers himself a Brit

Argue all you want but the man has his opinion and that supersedes what you, me or any other poster thinks
