    Haye, T Fury, H Fury - world class
    Chisora, Joshua - fringe world class/ european level
    Price, ***ton, Cornish - domestic level

    all the rest are bums or past it who won't get to domestic level
    Richard Towers is very poor can't believe the hype he used to get lol.

    Haye will be the best for the next couple of years, then Hughie Fury - massive prospect will take over. I can only really see Hughie becoming a world champion, though Haye and Tyson Fury would have a chance if they fought Povetkin or for the vacant WBC title if Vitali retires.

    how come there is always usually black and mixed raced fighters in the top 10 at heavyweight in the UK
    But in all the other divisions vast majority of the UK top 10 is white boxers.
    It seems that the only good black and mixed raced british fighters are always mostly in the heavyweight division..... which happens to be the glamour division where fighters get way more publicity.
    Just saying what Ive noticed
    Are black people generally big people? is it to do with weight?
    I don't think it's to with this as there are enough black UK fighters in other divisions but they are not good enough, It's strange.
     
  3. There are lots of black and mixed race Brits in every division
    James degale,amir khan,kal yafai,Darren Hamilton and lots in every weight class
    Are you joking or trolling

    What an ignorant quote, black people like white people come from all different ethnic groups and are all shapes and sizes, the biggest HW in Britain and the world are white. Some Black people are great swimmers, some are great sprinters some are great marathon runners, race has little or nothing to do with athletic ability, racist tripe.

    not true


    it's a known fact that those who descend from west africa often make better sprinters because of genetics

    And East Africans make great long distance runners because of their geography and altitude, that being said, a tiny minority of either group are elite, genetics help but it is one factor, thats all, most West Africans are probably shite sprinters. Do you remember Black men were considered better boxers? tell me that wasn't genetic, obviously the socio economic conditions of black people, particularly in the US was a much more significant factor than the fact their skin is a different colour, in my opinion.
     
  10. Are you joking are trolling saying that Amir Khan and Kal Yafai are black hahahha :lol:
    You deserve banning for that right there.
    You are a very dumb person.
    Degale is mixed race, Khan is asian, Yafai is an arab I think

    lol your saying that I'm joking or trollling ... when youve just said Amir Khan is a black man :rofl :rofl :rofl

    'No there isn't lots of black and mixed raced boxers in the top 10s of there weight divisions in the UK, go look at the UK rankings , every division 90% of the top 10's are white - fact, apart from the heavyweight top 10.

    So basically everything you just wrote was 100% bull****. I actually feel sorry for you, you've just proved you are deluded, this together with the amount of time you spend on these boxing forums indicate you have problems.

    I know theres a few good mixed raced fighters brook, degale, etc.
    But I was talking about Black british fighters, there is hardly any in any UK top 10's apart from the heavyweight division only ones I can think of is Darren Hamilton and Denton Vassell and they aren't much to shout about are they. There isn't any world class black british fighters currently ( not mixed raced), I'm just telling the truth.

    I never said it was to do with athletic abilty, quite the opposite. Just saying that the only time we really talk about black british boxers are the ones in the heavyweight division, as they are the only ones that are decent, as far as I'm aware there is only one current british champion that is black - darren hamilton , all the rest are white.

    It was more about 'weight' what I was talking about then abilty, there's is lots and lots of heavyweights that are black, probably 90% of the american heavyweights are black, there defo seems to loads of them. But they are not good enough clearly as there hasn't been a black heavyweight champ for ages. They have quantity but lack quality

    You rate both Fury's above Joshua, take it you didn't hear the sparring story about Joshua & Tyson Fury? People are overating Hughie imo he will be better than Tyson Fury but don't think he'll ever be a champ, maybe a paper champ at most.

    Its not a story, Tyson said in an interview a few years ago that Joshua was getting the better of him in sparring.
