    I'm specifically talking about what we've come from. We've come from about 5 champions to nothing. Some of those champs were Euro winners.

    Being EBU champ still gets you a high ranking. Akinwande, Hide and Bruno were titlists so they did prove themself at the top. It is hard to see our current crop even being European rulers, let alone titlists.

    None of our domestic crop have managed to dominate and move on though we've been hearing for many years that they will. Williams got a lucky break by beating Tyson and getting a title shot but not much else. I'd say they are all top25 but that isn't great.

    Liking Cruiser lately.

    Heavy punchers like Haye, Macca and Ding are delivering some nice KO's.

    Haye should beat Mormeck as long as his weight doesn't affect him, watched Gurov trouble Mormeck.

    Those are his genetics, not because he is fat. You can see even when in the best shape ever he slightly has ***** tits.

    Richard Dunn, John L Gardner, Funso Banjo, Hughroy Currie and indeed Horace Notice were no worse or better than Williams or Skelton...

    As suspect as he was as a pro, at least we had an Olympic (Super) Heavyweight champion, something we never had in the 70s...

    The era looks bad because of what Lennox was. But Lewis was an exception and has now gone, we have to deal with we have now, which is four fighters on the fringes of the top 50, which is not bad really for a country our size.
