Why do London not produce good boxers for their population..

Too busy making money.

 

Greatest British boxer of all time Lennox Lewis born and bred in London :hi:

Haye comeback, Groves, DeGale, Joshua, Mitchell, Whyte and plenty of others coming through... not a bad current state of affairs at all

 

Or leaving.

 

Bit of a stretch to say Mitchell and Joshua are Londoners. One's from Es*** and the other's from Watford.

 

Lennox left when he was 15 and went to Canada to learn how to box...

 

In Wales 99% of our boxers come from s.wales which is more like 1.5 m out of that we have got about 70 clubs with about 2 shows a week in the boxing season which creates a lot of competition with some 15/16 year olds having 100 plus fights so the boys that turn pro are at a very high standard. Competition breeds success!

 

Cos people are poorer up North and pro boxing has always been very much a working class sport.

 

Lennox wasn't one of them....

 

If you're comparing london to Liverpool etc in terms of boxing and population then there's no point counting the 8million of greater london because that's not inner city. Most boxers will come from inner city areas.

 

David Haye....

Going further back arguably Britain's two greatest boxers Ted Kid Lewis and Jackie Kid Berg.

 

arent you the idiot who picked Cloud to ko beterbeiv?:rofl

 

Pretty much it.

 

So north is considered as a whole compared to london lol.

includes liverpool,yorkshire and manchester vs london, maybe people should stop comparing the whole northern counties to london and maybe compare it to the whole southern england.

 

northern england produces more sporting talent than southern england
