End of an era in British boxing?

Its the first time I have seen it happen :verysad Hopefully i can see it happen more often.

 

It's only really the world class ones that are a concern, because it takes a special talent to get that far and they don't grow on trees...

The domestic fighters listed have been great servants but guys come along and beat them and take their place. Kev Mitchell has replaced Johannesson, Murray has replaced Thaxton, Cleverly and Bellew are coming through to replace Francis. Hopefully some of these guys make it to the world stage too.

 

So that's Hatton and Joe really? Clinton I suppose.

We've a few on the way through but genuine world class, I dunno, you can't tell until they step up

Khan is now 'world class' and Moore might soon join him

In the medium term Brook and Cleverly should go far

 

I thought Thaxton and Francis are rtired after their last fights.

Is Skelton retired?

 

Here's something:

I don't know why people seem to always leave out Froch

 

Oops, very true, our top man right now

Maybe because he's never on TV lol

 

blame Hennesy... I do

 

lol so do I

Sad for Carl, great lad, involved in good fights all the time and should be getting more recognition

 

Im glad they've all retired, everyone of them were domestic level fighters .. We can do better than them .. Real fighters who arent either failures at top level (Williams, Woods) or micro-managed so that they never faced anybody that wasnt over the hill (Calzaghe) ....

Who the hell gets enjoyment from watching Woods, Skelton, Earl, Williams and Thaxton fight ... ??

Clinton Woods should be regarded as the worst fighter ever to hold a 'World Title' .. He was worse than Richie Woodhall and thats saying something !!

Im on 'spotify' listening to some Prince classics like 'Cream', 'Little Red Corvette', 'Get Off' and 'Raspberry Beret' ......... This is perfect music to listen to while destroying boxing arguments !! Anyone know what happened to Prince ?? He had grooooooove !!

 

i thin its a good thing

bring on the next era

 

the biggest problem for British boxing in the future is the lack of coverage, in terms of talent/grass roots/fighters coming threw then the futures bright because they'll be alotta fighters to fill that british/euro void and we'll always get a couple who'll make it to world level, problem is will they get the exposure and pub, i think the sport is stuck in a quagmire at the minute in that sense.

 

That's the right attitude

Loved watching all these guys over the years

But I'm itching to see Brook and Froch and Haye all the others fight again
