    Larry Olubamiwo is a typical London fighter.. was signed with Waarren and Maloney, yet now has a losing record :lol:

    Hearn had Wadi Camacho,Eric Ochieng and Darren Hamilton in his stable and look what happened to them :lol:

    It's pretty easy to offer some sort of explanation; how many boxing gyms are there per square mile compared to Liverpool or Manchester? How many trainers per capita?

    I'd hazard a guess that there aren't that many in the outlining London boroughs (Harrow / Hillingdon / Ealing / Bexley / Bromley / Barnet) etc. and where boxing was traditionally at its strongest (like Newham / Tower Hamlets / Hackney) the demography has completely changed.

    Do you get a big hard on from thinking how your city has more world class boxers than someone else's city? It's moronic dark ages mentality

    This sites really gone down hasn't it. Wonder where all these morons came from.

    Comparing a city to an entire region??! In any case London is all about money, it's the poor chavs up north who have no option but to seek their fortunes through sports as they do not have the brains/education to make it.

    It's actually quite sad how these northern monkeys rely on the fact someone was born in the same region as them to give their pathetic lives meaning (nationalists do the same).

    Anyway keep living in absolute filth with your disgusting accents and your inbred nature. Really hope England gets broken up as I'm sick of constantly bailing out the North with my tax money.

    Bull****....I've been in white working class gyms and mixed gyms. Trust me there's no difference, if anything the competition is much better at the heavier weights with massive poles and jamaicans knocking lumps out of each other. The enthusiasm and banter is the same in both gyms and many of the "immigrants" have come from countries with strong boxing traditions.

    To put it this way, no immigrants, then no Lennox Lewis, Joe Calzaghe, Nas etc. Even the Kray twins were part Jewish.

    There is also the matter of success breeds success. Ingle's gym in Sheffield inspires the local youngsters because generations have seen the fighters from there strutting around in their appalling clothes and crashing their expensive cars into anything and everything

    Seems like London boxers are all mouth and no action just like Tamwar Tibbs on here

    Frank Bolognese was the latest to be exposed, knew he was **** after the Khomitsky fight but hes even worse than i thought!
