    I cannot take london boxers seriously when I see a london boxer on tv i just think their probably gonna be like the big long list of most london boxers like georgie kean, olubamiwo, boylan, skeete, buglioni,etc

    in the last decade apart from a few I could count on one hand, london boxers have been pathetic

    Birmingham is the second biggest city. They don't produce many good boxers

    The working class element is the main thing, regardless of North/south 90% of boxers come from deprived areas. It's the magic of the sport, rags to riches

    In London we have careers, money and wives they are not related to us.

    I know the further north you go the worse it gets so boxing to your average person North of London seems like a good way out from signing on and marrying your sister.

    you also have loads of boxers and loads of boxing gyms. A high percentage of london boxers don't achieve anything, I bet about 30-40% of all registered active british boxers are trom London, yet only like 2-4% of the best british boxers are from London

    so Groves is shot and done now
    Dillian Whyte looked awful.. .. he's isn't going to do anthing
    Ricky Boylan lost yet again...

    Matchroom had to get rid of their whole London stable cause their London boxers kept losing and had to replace them all! Remember all them former matchroom boys...- Eric Ochieng, Wadi Camacho, Ryan Taylor, darren hamilton, etc. I think eddie has given up on John Ryder too...
