    Not long ago Britain produced some badass Fighter (Lewis, Benn, Eubank, Bruno, Calzaghe). These guys were great fighter and more improtantly had CLASS!

    Nowadays you have a bunch of overhyped cocky pricks getting exposed in a row.( Haye, Khan, DeGale, Froch...)

    As far as British fighters you can add Hamed to that list of badass fighters and Hatton to the list of overhyped.

    That list of fighters spans about 20 years...you're surprised we don't have 20 years worth of top fighters around right now?

    They're making way for the arrival of Kell Brook to be the face of Britain and fly the flag high with pride as the p4p #1 in the sport

    Three of those overhyped cocky pricks you're talking about, aren't even close to sealing their legacies for you to compare them to Lewis, Benn, etc. And the three have just suffered minor setbacks. DeGales is still on his learning curve, Khan is only 25 and lost just a controversial split decision, and Froch still has a lot of fight left in him.
