    america has in all weightclasses cunningham at CW the no.2 Cw

    lhw:hopkins,tarver,johnson,dawson
    smw:they have **** all
    mw:kelly pavlik,JT and winky
    lmw:cory spinks,ODLH,Forrest
    ww:they have a wealth of talent, PBF,paul williams,mosley
    lww:pauly(i think he's **** but hes still a alphabet title holder)
    past that they dont have much

    if we look,america dominates maybe light heavys,although joe could change that.
    froch could possibly come in and dominate smw,although i thin this will be kesslers job.
    at mw,no matter how much i love duddy,i think pavlik has too much power and JT too much skill and other than andy lee coming i cant see anybody like gary lockett even touching those two.other than of course abraham
    and lmw its most definatly an american division.
    ww,no one from the UK can challenge and puerto rico and mexico hold the only challenge.
    lww is definatly one that britain can dominate for at least the next 5 years.

    the uk dominates 3 divisions while the us dominates maybe 4.

    p4p i think its pretty clear uk holds the stead over america.

    odlh mexican,yea but he fights under the american flag and is therefore american.
    hopkins shot?yea thats why hes still top 3-7 p4p,johnson,dawson?
    paul williams,mosley shot?he just went 12 rounds extremely competitively with cotto!
    mate stop your biased dribble and think sensibly for a change.
    o yea,just because you get ko'd by kelly pavlik doesnt make you a bad fighter,if we went by that theory ricky must be pants for gettin ko'd by the best on the planet.

    ok they have tarver,bhop,cunningham,dawson,danny green,KP,spinks,forrest,PBF,pauly,luevano.

    thats 11,four more than the UK,plus they have alot more serious depth in their challengers,not many elcocks or locketts(btw hows he ranked number2 in the world by the WBO).

    i am thinking in context and can see that there are many more future world champs to come from the US and that they will continue to be the foremost power in world boxing.yes,well done britain,they have achieved much more than their population would suggest,but to suggest that they are a better boxing nation than the US is absurd.

    Na, because even if he loses, a Brit will still be number 1 in the division and he defo wont fight at Cruiser after Macca

    I had to pick Hatton and Calzaghe at 1 and 2. I went with Hatton at 1. If Joe beats Hopkins I'll move him up to 1.
