I keep saying it but the UK HW scene is so tough and talented

i can agree with that. it is just sad the beltholders and fury all have done their very best to avoid most challenges to date.

 

This is where your loney thread belongs, in British forum.
You think Haye is top 3 heavyweight in the world

 

Bailey are you serious? Haye is past his better days and Hughie Fury. Hughie ****en Fury lol... Haye was a bright spot and I liked him. He might still be able to fight but now he has to fight the big boys and these guys are huge. He's out of the mix until he beats someone again.

 

Wilder and Joshua are top contenders that I like. They are serious threats to Tyson Fury. Joshua beating Wlad would be a nice win but Fury is the lineal champion. Everyone else is contenders including Wilder. Joshua if he beats Wlad should get the next shot at Tyson Fury the pathetic but true lineal hvw champion.

 

Beating DeMori and Triple J does not make you current top 3 heavy, you're insane.

 

I don't get the question or what point you're trying to make. I gave Haye his props. Why post this?

 

If you ain't ready for Audley Harrison at 29, it's a wrap...and apparently, it is.

 

Chisora is one of only 4 men to go the distance with Vitali.

Chisora was also very competitive in that fight. The version of Chisora that took on Vitali would have cleaned Wilders clock plus all of the "contenders" he has beaten and defended against. Chisora is a very under rated figher. Many argue that he beat Helenius and it was a robbery. I agree, that he never built himself up against the gatekeepers to world class- but respect to him for fighting any man any time- that is after all what we all want from our boxers!

 

UK hw is going through a golden era similar to the 90 's with UK middleweights . When Benn ,
Eubank, Watson , Graham, Collins and Pyatt ruled. Most of these fighters fought each other in
the UK and some of their domestic battles were ferocious. In fact the fights in UK have more
atmosphere than most of the USA title fights because in the USA they are mainly held in casino's
and the high rollers and celebrities take the best seats while in the UK they have the atmosphere
of a local derby and the singing and chanting makes for great theatre .
