Why do London not produce good boxers for their population..

**** off southern england is the place to be, **** that grim wasteland past birmingham

 

Lep you seem to be getting your cities and counties mixed up,if you look at Yorks and Lancs you cover the main northern conurbations and a lot of boxers do originate from there.

 

look at the Olympic gold medal tables by county how did Yorkshire get on in london

 

its the truth, Arsene Wenger has used this as an excuse for the lack of english young players he brings through since he can't recruit ftom the north, where as he said all the best english talent comes from

 

wilshere,walcott,oxlaide,shaw all the talent or most off it coming from southampton if u wanna talk footy, no reason for why the proffesor cant recruit from northern teams.

 

There are lots of reasons. For starters you can't take a kid from Manchester as a 12 year old and bring him to London, it's not allowed.

 

just remembered Anthony Joshua is from Watford, hertfordshire!

Billy Joe Saunders - hatfield, hertfordshire
Martin J Ward - Es***

Seems like London shows need top talent from out of London areas cause most londoners are crap at boxing

 

George Groves
Kevin Mitchell
John Ryder
Bradley Skeete
Ashley Theophane

That's probably the top 5 london boxers right now. Poor considering a population of 8 million with many boxers and many boxing clubs.

 

in fairness Saunders and Ward are travellers

 

For every one Groves theres about 500 Olubamiwos,Ochiengs, Bakers, Camachos, Morgans, Skeetes
London boxers really let the UK down.

 

It's not like the others are rushing to be undisputed heavyweight champion etc.

 

The first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis etc.

haha Audley Harrison is pretty much the textbook London boxer. All talk and no substance.

 

No.. the ROTB has no substance.
