    Audley would have the gold and undisputed.. others wouldn't have either.

    Because boxers are generaly a tough breed , and Londoners , don't have to be tough, they just have to talk ****ney , Tell everyone how there Dad was a mate of the Krays , and theres uncles mates second cousin , give Mad Frankie a going over at the eastend fish mongers , .. Phil and Grant are there second cousins , and they Booze in the Queen Vic .

    When you can do all that your automaticly scary and don't need to fight

    This is it.Hardly any white working class families live in London and the white working classs has always been the life blood of British boxing.Working class families moved to Kent,Es*** and Hertfordshire so guys like Billie Joe Saunders who has a ****ney dialect are more old school London than guys like Ochieng and Chisora who come from immigrant families.

    It's like the gun theories..

    Say one man dies in the 2 man country.. you could spin it and say "50% of the country is being wiped out".

    With the gun theories in UK around 100 people die from gun deaths which equals to the same % as America.

    What they don't realise is.. a "handful" of people die of gun deaths because guns are banned in the UK.

    'A lot of people' die of gun deaths in America because guns are.. legal.

    By default America is like 5 times bigger in population etc.


    Which also leads to them thinking they need the guns in the first place in which they only blame on a % of a large number.


    50% of 2 is still only one man.

    1% of 100 million is still 1 million people.
