    Carl Froch (168.) and Carl Frampton (122) are the rightful rulers of their division and rated by Boxrec as such. So in 2 of boxing's 17 division, the UK rule. Remarkable when you consider that the US has only twice as many divisional leaders, despite having more than 5 times the population.

    Further more, the UK has 2 fighters in the pound for pound top 12 (Froch and The Special One) the same amount as the USA.

    I think it's time we correctly accepted the United Kingdom as the Mecca of boxing. :arran

    Funnily enough I don't know the exact number. However, I do know a lot less of them fail drug tests than US fighters. :good

    The UK has become the new mecca. I did a thread which pointed this a while ago. Just look at how the UK won the Olympics in the boxing!

    They should make a garbage dump for empty threads like this.

    I'm British myself but even I know you are f*cking mental! US is the mecca of boxing still and will continue to be for some time but I do believe we are closing the gap and I do feel the UK is becoming a greater force in the boxing world

    The US only has 4. Only twice as many despite having 5 to 6 times the population. Imagine how good we'd be with the USA's population and being allowed to juice by the BBBoC like US fighters are by their chip shop commissions. :think

    Now they're part of the UK? Why don't you count up every champ in the eastern hemisphere and claim them too

    More options to juice? Yeah, I know because the BBBoC implements random drug testing. :good
