    We have to PAY to see Kell face his MANDATORY.

    AJ, the most manufactured fighter on our shores, is rammed down our throat as the new Tyson, when he's the actually the most limited heavy around.

    Bellew is unbearable after the Haye fight. You'd think he's beaten a prime Ali. Fight Usyk or GTFO!

    Burns has had more chances at a strap than I don't know what. Fight Crolla ffs!!!

    Talks of Quigg/Selby? Utterly pointless. BOTH need to swerve each others and fight other top fighters.

    The media are awful. They make that moron Seckbach look absolutely 5 star.

    Fury, for all the talk of being a fighting man, does more talking than fighting. The irony.

    BJS won't go near GGG anytime soon, just another talker.

    It's been said that we run the boxing world, but that's only because how poor the sport is in the states now. Not too mention that we have so many casuals here it's frightening...

    Why not just stop watching then? Sounds like you will be better off.

    British boxing is brilliant at the moment, yes it has massive flaws and dodgy champs but its getting huge exposure and nights like last night will only attract more people.

    Also i like a selby quigg fight. Good domestic clash, whats wrong with that?

    I don't mind British boxing ATM but I DETEST casuals. Yeah it might be better for us that casuals show an interest because it provides bigger purses and brings bigger names to the table but on the flip side it brings PPVs.

    But I detest them. Casuals. Pisses me off when I watch every single card possible and some mug who doesn't know **** and watches five fights a year tries to explain to me why my analysis of a fight is wrong.

    The brook card is much better value for money than Aj card last night.

    Quigg v selby I like that fight even though I think selby schools him.

    British boxing on the up, if they start matching warrens stable v matchroom be even better.

    That's if Warren hasn't left the country and changed sex and started living in an island full of snakes after watching that 90k arena burn the tills and after watching a fantastic HW fight in the U.K that he's not involved in.

    Brook Spence isn't your ordinary mandatory, That is a legitimate world title fight arguably just as big if not bigger then Thurman VS Garcia to real boxing fans, How anybody can complain about that fight is beyond me, I have no problem with that being PPV, Brook,spence,Thurman,Garica are the Top 4 weather weights, Any comber nation of either of them is PPV worthy, Maybe not to casuals.

    And after last nights fight you are still complaining about AJ? That was one of the best fights in a very long time are you out of your mind? British boxing is absolutely on fire. You are either smoking crack or you are s miserable mofo.

    Get over yourself. I turned into that bitter guy once - that's what listening to too many hardcore boxing podcasts does to you.

    The hardcores have become wayyyyy more annoying than the casual's. They do anything they can to bash AJ-Wlad but they also claim Usyk-Mchunu is a great match up LOL!! Absolute hipster clowns.

    The casual's seem to be more right in their predictions than the hardcores these days.

    I agree for the most part Brixton B, but you are being a bit too hard...

    AJ is going to be hard to beat, but yes Fury, Burns and Quigg & Selby are not worthy of true world recognition.

    Saunders is game and as good as any, but who wouldn't come up short against GGG?

    Crolla is a top 10 all day, and same with Bellew, nothing wrong with that. Brock is a good fighter and excellent boxer, who should never have stepped up the way he did. kudos.

    But you ARE 100% about British MEDIA, Fans and Patriots.

    Britain Has ALWAYS been Pigheaded, Arrogant and Unrelenting in their UNWILLINGNESS to support the truth, recognize 'others' and admit their lying bias, fraud or cheating... this has always been Britain's way - Rule Britania and all... and it will NEVER Change.

    However I wouldn't let that take away from some great and worthy fighters who have NO Control over it or their own careers for that matter.

    I like AJ's possibility and for my money I have big HOPE in Josh Warrington, because HE Is Everything that a fighter should be... Skillful, Dedicated, HUMBLE and Honest, I pray he will make BOXING Proud for the Sports sake even though the attitude & mentality of Britain Don't deserve him!

    How can you say that Fury is not worthy of world recognition given the massive accomplishment in dethroning Wlad? I agree he's ballsed it up since then but that victory alone is worthy of world recognition.

    I agree with some of the other stuff you said though!

    I'm loving British boxing at the moment.

    I was in a pub last night, rammed with people wanting to watch the main event which itself had 90,000 people in.

    It went absolutely crazy when AJ finished him. Everyone will remember the fight last night and will talk about it in 20-30 years time. I appreciate us boxing fans know the limitations of a few household names but it's about putting bums on seats and it's a big two fingers up at the people who call to ban it. No MMA event will pull in a crowd like that.
