    Forget London. Apart from perhaps Carl Froch are there any good boxers in the UK ?

    I mean, really good, world class fighters.

    London boxers make up a good percentage of our boxers, but they only make up a very small percentage of out best boxers. They underachieve and let us down, no doubt about it. Most of the most ridiculed Uk boxers are from London

    there no sense of UNITY in london, my last gym had only few english, the rest were black, afghan, albanian, indian, arab, polish etc.

    im sure most gyms up north are at least 80% white british, there's a sense of community, which makes you go up your ass and go gym on a cold winter evening. Boxing is more mental than physical, It's difficult for a someone who dont know english to bond with his trainer or other boxers at the club or a trainer to train a guy who dont understand most of the things he is being told.

    that being said, most kids in london are in identity crisis, so confused that they run around with guns and knives and these kids are not even 16 yet.

    What other cities produce more though?

    London has Lennox Lewis etc.


    Each city has their so called champion.


    Each city has only a few.. with more or less being the factor.

    There's more poor people in the south than the north due to the difference in population.

    it's just that the London poor are more into jellied eels, jihad or voodoo.

    They prefer to stab or shoot each other than settle things with their fists.
