We have 3 Ring Magazine champions Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, David Haye. And 7 World Champions including Junior Witter, Enzo Maccarinelli, Gavin Rees and Clinton woods. I mean were not even bigger in size then Florida.
yea,but in honesty,how many of them are the no.1s in their division,ricky(who must go back and prove it again) joe and haye.we hate the alphabets and cant go on to say o,look we have world champions like rees or arthur,when in reality they arent in championship class. yes british boxing is having a golden period and behind america it is the dominant boxing power but we have to put some perspective behind it also.
still three division kings is impressive for one country. Even if it was the US it would still be impressive.
Maybe you don't have the best boxers, but you certainly have the best beer, ale and whiskey. Congratulations.
When you think Froch, Lockett, Moore, Pryce, Hatton, Khan, Arthur, Mitchell, Matthews, Bami could all fight and realisticly fight for world titles this year it looks even better. Add Elcock, Skelton, Cook to that list who have fought for ones recently I think we are.
