    Apologise for mistakes drinking whiskey here I was wondering what yous all think of this era for me it has been very enjoyable and love the discussions on this website some folk get a bit hurt bless them when there fav loose but god sake there not paying you just calm down and enjoy it lol Anyway the era is nearly finished it certainly will be in 3 years but it has been good to watch we've got fury who is obviously the best in the world then good level boxers like joyce joshua white furys cousin and duibos gorman and all them david price plenty of good entertainment It has been one heck of a journey just wished joined this website sooner than now i raise a glass to you all we all have aruments and that but it is good fun yous are all good men in my book anyway do yous think it will be rubbish after these men retire there are some up and comers but they are all not as good

    lets see what yous think it was just something that i thought of on the spur of the moment my god it is nearly finished very sad indeed for us who enjoy it so much

    Think you're probably right Jim. We go through spells where we unearth particular weight class talents in bunches - 30 years ago it was middle / supper-middle. I guess you could say there's maybe something in light-heavy just now but none of them are getting any younger.

    Heavyweight division is rotten beneath a handful of top-end boxers though, not just the Brits. There's just no obvious dominant fighters coming through.

    Don't worry Jim, after AJ and Tyson are long gone. We will still have Dubois and Hughie who will be world champions and Eddie will push Johnny Bosh more. Still good times ahead

    It would be interesting to see how the heavyweight landscape would look in 2022 had there not been the pandemic. You’d have to imagine the top 5 would all of had a couple more fights in their careers and that undisputed would have happened by now..

    Even in two or three years when AJ, Fury, Joyce and Whyte retire it wouldn't be the end of British era. Would they be as good? Probably not.

    Dubois, Wardley and Hughie have potential to be decent although doubt AJ or Fury level.

    Jalolov will taken over the divison around then from Usyk.

    Yeah I think so, everything seems to take so long and aside from Fury, Usyk, Wilder and Joshua I only see Joe Joyce really doing anything, there's lots of dross hanging around getting in the way like Helenius, Charr, Chisora, Pulev, Whyte etc. It's a shame and I know it's always been like this to a degree but there's a lot of hyped guy's coming up who I don't think are going to do anything. Hrgovic is another, he looked awful for the hype he's had.

    there are other tough men about maybe not the best but what about bakolle or hunter or the young american guy every era is the same there are a few top boxers and a drop off some are over rated agree on hrgovic although he is not crap but not the next top dog that i am certain of
