Who will be the next international uk boxing superstar

I wouldn't label Joe Calzaghe as an International boxing superstar.

The only 3 UK boxers who would qualify in the last 15 years are Lennox Lewis, Naseem Hamed and Ricky Hatton.

The only current active UK boxer who may qualify is Amir Khan and maybe David Haye although outside of Europe he's pretty much unknown.

There's no way Joshua will ever be an international superstar, i doubt he'll make it too far past British/European level before his obvious flaws are found out. I don't see any one else apart from Carl Frampton but in order to become a superstar he'd have to beat Rigondeaux and Leo Santa Cruz at Super Bantamweight and then clean out the Featherweight division by beating the probable champs a year from now in Lomachenko and Donaire.

 

Callum Smith and Carl Frampton will be big IMO both will go all the way

 

I saw Camarelle outbox Joshua in the Olympics, but Camarelle was cheated.

Tyson has potential, but I really like Hughie Fury...........

 

im quite shocked that you lot are forgetting The Devil AKA James Stabler

 

Disagree. Haye is known.

When I worked in China last year and mentioned I liked boxing, the Chinese lads knew of David Haye.


Anyway, as for potential greats.

I'd say Frampton, Joshua and Etches are the main three. I really think Etches will go far.

 

He would be torn a new arsehole by Rigondeaux. atsch

 

yeah but who wouldn't in that weight division? Frampton has the potential to go and become a world star. Seems like a decent guy so hope he manages it

 

Andrew Sleby is cringe worthy to watch,I don't rate him.

 

Not a chance.

Fights on an obscure channel and has the sort of personality that makes Steve Davis seem like an interesting character.

Will need to be matched carefully too.

 

i am hoping Gary Cornish aka the Highlander is going to be a top heavyweight but time will tell , he needs to start stepping up the opposition and get good quality sparring in

 

Apart from Carl....possibly Kal Yafai?? A bit soon to say I know but looks good so far...

 

all about opinions mate although I wish he would just turn pro

 

hughie fury especially with tyson on the side lines ,
he could be around for a very long time , he will not beat mikes record but he will defo at some point win a world title and with time and experiance will only get better imo

 

Carefully matched,obscure channel?Your talking shite Solaris.Its very obvious when you don't like a fighter you make **** excuses to back it up instead of facts.Your the same way when you talk about Ricky Burns.Frampton is a quality little fighter with a great following and massive potential and if you can't see that your a massive idiot.

Be fair Solaris give credit where credit is due.

 

BoxNation is an obscure channel that the casual fan will never watch.

That isn't an opinion, that's a fact.
