1. Clev will retire 2. Khan will get knocked out by Alexander 3. Barker will lose his title to Sturm. 4. Bellew will get schooled and stopped by Cloud or Stevenson 5. Burns will lose his title to whoever he fights next, aslong as its not Crolla. 6. Kell Brook will beat Andrei Shevshenko LOOOL and then lose to Alexander. Things are looking grim, hope BJS and Callum Smith are as good as we say they are. Maybe Degale can beat Bika and win a world title.
All of those thing are possible - some might say even probable. On a positive note i'd like to add that Groves, Gavin and BJS are poised very nicely and I think all of them will go on to win world titles despite each having their own deficiencies. Yafai, C. Smith and Campbell are huge, huge prospects, and I think will go on to do great things. Time will tell. Just a positive caveat to your little whinge there.
Billy Joe and Callum Smith do look like the real deal, also Ogoggo is a very good prospect and we have Anthony Joshua turning over. However i do think we are all living with our heads in the clouds atm. Our fighters are nowhere near as good as we think they are. At elite level British fighters technique is seriously lacking when you compare it, to that of the Mexican and American fighters. Groves is one of few fighters that hit with the correct part of the glove.
Plenty of good prospects coming through British boxing has been in far worse states than this in years gone past. Plenty of names above I agree with esp Callum Smith very exciting prospect will no doubt be questioned on here by some the moment he doesn't blast someone out.Luke Campbell the same made for the pro's UK boxing is doing more than ok for me. We had it at the end of last season fighter I have followed for years under the radar & has had a bit of tv push behind him step forward...Lee Selby. Beats a unbeaten fighter in Simion tough guy durable because he didn't get the stoppage he straight away get's questioned? We are not talking about elite fighters those come along once in a blue moon we have fighters that are competitive on the world stage now & in the future.USA always produces great fighters always will the size of the country tv & money all hand in glove. Tell you one thing they would swap our amateur programme in a heartbeat they also wouldn't mind having some of our heavyweight's either it's not all bad trust me!
I appreciate the responses without being called a dickhead, ***** whatever thanks! but i just feel we aint as good as we think we are, we build our prospects up as the second coming of ray leonard, then as soon as they lose we all knew they were ruubish!
gotta love you Brits and your unrepentant negativity, ****ing cheer up for once and stop giving yourselves ****, you get enough of that on the general as it is
btw I give Khan a good shot against Alexander..not as if he's ever benefitted from horrible home town decisions is it?(One against a guy Khan pracically shut out at that) at least that's one thing you can never say about Khan so far
I wouldn't say there is a whole new load of Mayweather/Pacmans coming through around the world. USA haven't exactly got many more than us coming up the ranks so its not as bad as it seems.
Brook would beat khan or alexander. He really is underrated in this forum/. He isn't world class but people act like he can't win fights.
