which british fighters would you choose...
Firsly
which british fighter do you want to see pick up a world title... who do you think deserves one for their dedication, talented, a positive role model for boxing and is exciting to watch..
secondly
what up and coming talent excites you the most.. who you really think is more than capable of winning world titles..
1 Darren barker.. love watching him box. a really silky boxer and has good shot selection.. he is consummate professional... he has been unlucky with injuries which affected his times to trains for sufficient periods..
2 kal yafai and lee selby.. couldn't decide between the 2 ... they both look like they have world titles in the wings... both are poweful, good hand speed and good boxing brains...

Re: which british fighters would you choose...
I think Murray deserves it. Going to Germany and Argentina to take on the worlds very best and just missing out (could have an arguement for both fights). Macklin is also not afraid to take on the best, also Barker does the same. Our middleweights are proper throw backs and deserve a mention with Froch for taking on the best
Re: which british fighters would you choose...
As long as he stays dedicated I can see Hughie Fury ruling the world esp with the lack of talent coming through.

Is Hughie Fury looking really good then? I only saw him on Tyson's last undercard in the Garden and the opponent was a no show. Couldn't see whether he was much from that short fight.
Re: which british fighters would you choose...
It's obv difficult to tell at this stage with his level of opponent, however despite being only 18 he is a genuinely big heavyweight, looks to be a puncher when he sits down on his shots but also has the skill and movement of men in the lighter weights, his amateur grounding is really impressive and he looks man enough already for the pro game, and at his young age there must still be plenty of scope for development, I'm excited about him
Re: which british fighters would you choose...
I saw a clip of him the bther day, good punch placement etc. Only 18? I had no idea.

Re: which british fighters would you choose...
I think Martin Murray deserves another shot and to win a world title !
I also think groves is closing in on a shot.
I think talent wise, Frankie Gavin and Lee selby will be in the mix with in 18 months

Re: which british fighters would you choose...
For dedication, talent, role model and excitement it has to be Frank Buglioni. Ola Afolabi I would also include.
Far too many prospects to name one but the future looks bright for British boxing. A new golden age could be just around the corner.

I like all three and they have fought the number one in the division, but if they were proper throwbacks they'd have fought each other.danconnollyeire wrote:I think Murray deserves it.

Re: which british fighters would you choose...
I would absolutely love to see John Simpson win a version of a world title.
He has provided some great entertainment over the years, fought everyone and also been very unlucky with some decisions at various stages of his career.
I would also like to see Brian Rose go onto bigger and better things but dont know if he has the ability to get to the next level. Hopefully im wrong as he comes across as a top guy when interviewed etc.

I agree with Murray and Barker.. I think they deserve it because the are good boxers and have been unlucky but for me macklin just isnt good enough but thats just my opinion..

Gavin's day has been and gone, he's only British champ because he fought a middle aged Lightwelter to win the title.jessi wrote:Frankie Gavin and Lee selby will be in the mix with in 18 months
