    You need a larger sample size. I'm talking in recent years, say the last five or so. It does seem as if British chins are getting shattered at higher rates pre capita over this time.

    Now, I do have a theory about this that is not related to rain or diet or what have you. It has to do with the depth of the talent pool. It's my sense - and you can correct me if I am wrong - that boxing has become more popular in Britain over the last decade or so. At the very least, from this side of the pond, it seems more high profile than it was when I was growing up in the Ali era.

    The more popular and lucrative a sport is, the deeper into your national talent pool one typically goes. The more kids try out for boxing, the more likely you are gonna get guys who have talent otherwise, but are packing shaky chins.

    Banks too small, brutally Knocked out cold by Adamek same would happen by Fury. Cunnigham too small dropped 3 times by Adamek. Fury has more talent and heart in his little finger than Dimitrenko, it would be a repeat of Kevin Johnson vs Fury against Chambers. Arreola is fat and his boxing skills suck, Fury would school him.


    Next question. This guy is clearly a fool.

    I dont hate british fighter but their ******ED fan base.:lol:

    Their Klitschko killer..:-( They really believed Price could have beaten Wlad. and how Price was so much above the rest of the "garbage":lol:.

    Now we have to read these fukin mongoloids writing how the division sucks once again. while the truth is they disgrace themself and their fighter once again.

    Price could have knocked out Lennox Lewis thou.

    yet your avatar is khan on his arse? i dont care where a fighter is from, if i like them i like them. and i think theres way too many armchair fans on this site, who have never boxed a round in their lives. negates their opinions straight away in my view.

    british fans can be totally fickle i agree 100% but the more people respond with counter threads about glassjawed brits, the more brits write about americans with dodgy chins, trolls see an opportunity to annoy so create yet more **** threads. it quickly becomes an epidemic of absolutely dull threads with little boxing talk, but lots of insults.

    And vlad and vitali. its the fact he cant take a punch that is the clear problem.
