ACTIVE BRIT FIGHTERS WITH STAR QUALITY
For me Froch v Groves lacks a bit of "star" quality - who are the active british fighters with it? Not many around?

Gotta go with a heavyweight and that has to be Anthony Joshua. If Luke Campbell can get back into action soon he would be up there.
I think BJS and Frankie Gavin both have the ability to win world titles but I dont think have the personality that has the potential to transcend the sport. Chris Eubank Jnr has his Dad to crank the publicity handle but I dont think he is world class potential.
Tyson Fury is always entertaining but sometimes in hands over your eyes way as can be seen on the thread about his recent tweet.

I think Joshua has it he's a good looking lad ,chilled out character ,amazing physique and speaks really well if he has the chin and style to get to the top in heavy weight boxing we have a new British world wide star.
He could in my opinion transcend sport like Bruno and our Henry.

Although he,s modest and quite quiet,i think Carl Frampton has the ability to become a crossover star

Agreed, think Frampton will be a superstar, such a humble lad too, reminds me of Barry. No surprise he's taken him under his wing.handsofstone wrote:Although he,s modest and quite quiet,i think Carl Frampton has the ability to become a crossover star

Agree Joshua has the potential, Fury big mouth and funny but cant back it up in the ring. Campbell yeah again potential. Not many at the top of their game right now though - right at the peak of there powers....
Re: ACTIVE BRIT FIGHTERS WITH STAR QUALITY
. Chris Eubank Jnr and frampton both going the top
Re: ACTIVE BRIT FIGHTERS WITH STAR QUALITY
I like Joshua, I think they'll be more to come from him personality wise once he gets used to the spotlight.
Re: ACTIVE BRIT FIGHTERS WITH STAR QUALITY
Has the ability for sure, but fighting on BN the casual sports fan will never see him.handsofstone wrote:Although he,s modest and quite quiet,i think Carl Frampton has the ability to become a crossover star
I think Joshua has the potential. Somewhere down the line I could imagine him v Fury would be a stadium fight, but it's asking a lot for Fury to still be relevant in 3/4 years time I know.
Re: ACTIVE BRIT FIGHTERS WITH STAR QUALITY
He's the obvious choice, he's certainly one of a kind but definately a few pence short of a pound. He is entertaining in a weird sort of way but will never have the edge that a Eubank or a Naz brought to the sport, he's more of a clown than anything else.rm1 wrote:Surely the big man himself Tyson Fury.
