british boxing 3 years down the line? better then american

[gemmell]

British boxing is quite a way behind america at the minute..but give it 3 years..and we will have a more expereinced amir kahn..degale.. saunders..gavin..sutherland..jeffries..groves..cleverley..kell brook..tyson fury..david price..we could genuinlly rule the world of boxing all of these guys have the potential too be world champions..what does everyone think?

I'd be very surprised if all the prospects make it to world level and even if they did, America have huge depth as a boxing nation. Would be nice to think that some of those guys make yet it to the top though and we get to see plenty of British fighters fighting for top honours over the next decade.

We have a lot of very talented prospects we could rule the SMW division with Jeffries, Sutherland, DeGale, Groves, Dickinson all look good so far also we have all the Olympians and other good Ams coming through it is exciting few years for British Boxing imo

WE DO HAVE SOME GOOD FIGHTERS COMING THROUGH BUT HOW MANY AMERICANS HAVE HEARD OF OUR PROSPECTS , AS IM SURE THE SAME APPLIES VICE VERSA , THEYVE GOT THE LIKES OF WARD & DIRRELL WHO ARE FAIRLY EARLY ON IN THEIR CAREERS BUT THERE WILL BE LOADS MORE JUST LIKE THEM AND NOT ALL WILL MAKE THE GRADE JUST LIKE WITH OURS , REMEMBER AUDLEY HARRISON WAS A PROSPECT AT ONE TIME

The UK is never going to "rule" the world of boxing.

Do they these days, I'm not so sure. How many of the top fighters in the world are American now. Both Klits, Pacquaio, Cotto, Hatton (until recently), Calzaghe, Marquez, none of these guys are American, and are some of the biggest names in the sport.

There's some talent coming through for sure, but their biggest names are either retired or near retirement. Holyfield, Jones Jr, Hopkins are probably the biggest American names, and they are all ancient.
