    Ik a lot of politics is involved but in the last 4 years the UK has produced had 4 Heavyweight champions. Fury has held the WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC and Ring titles. Joshua has held the WBA, WBO, IBF titles, Dubois has held the WBA regular and IBF titles and Wardley is the new WBO champion.

    I’m not disputing Usyk is the best but the UK I think clearly had the best HW volume in recent times.

    US HW boxing has died a torrid death sadly....and it's not because of lack of potential talent.

    AJ's hype and gifted success and Fury's slapping of Wlad has made a big pathway for lots of UK HW potential which will not be superceeded any time soon.

    US boxing is doing fine in the lower weight classes. For some reason the big guys in the US don’t want to box.

    The big guys are eggbell or basketball rejects or injured...

    Obviously, it goes without saying! In other news the sky is blue! It's very clear.

    Aside from the main man Usyk, it's virtually all British heavyweights at the top. Hence why Usyk has had to become The British Assassin.

    Phenomenal non-stop conveyor belt of Heavyweight talent coming out of Britain since Tyson Fury was a young prospect till now. and it doesn't look like it's ending any time soon. The baton keeps being passed.

    USA have 353 current pro heavyweights. Far more than any other country. UK has 56 and Ukraine has 29, for comparison

    Your excuses are just pathetic and nonsensical.

    Fighters are usually just good at fighting. Bouncing a ball has absolutely nothing to do with being able to fight. Every country could make the other sports excuse if they wanted to, but it's a load of **** so they don't/

    The best American heavyweights like Jared Anderson and Richard Torrez started boxing aged 8 years old and 4 years old respectively. They've dedicated their entire lives to boxing and simply aren't good enough, it's nothing to do with anything else.
