The thread about Boxing

Saying that, Groves ended up taking that one

How did he not go down there???

Well done Groves. Deserves that.

That final round was cracking! Boxing is quality

Prince Naseem is about 50 stone

Impressive win by Groves.

Over the moon for george groves, to have 3 goes and be hard done by twice and come again shows remarkable resilience. He's also a very unorthodox boxer which is nice and refreshing for British fighters.

Prediction time...
Spence by KO.
Left hook to the body.

Is Spence really that good? Don't know anything about him

Looks like it's a little bit too early for Spence.

Body work may be telling towards the end of the fight though.

Not looking good for Brook

Kell gave up there

What a shame. Still think he is our best boxer but seems to know when to pull out now. Fuck me they are right Spence and Gervonta are the future let's hope we have someone to fly the flag bar Aj and his casuals.

This is what I've said for a long time, every time someone says "British boxing is booming" they mean it's making a handful of people a lot of money. We have lots of people who hold versions of world titles but as soon as most come up against credible world level opponents they get shown up. Don't get me wrong Kell Brook is an excellent boxer but I think he essentially gave up in a sense when he fought Golovkin. That's just the way things go, but from the days of Lewis, Calzaghe, Hatton, Hamed, Nelson all absolutely dominating their divisions (remember Hatton never lost at 140lbs) I think we are weak and whilst at Heavyweight we have some strength remember Joshua beat a man who had been comfortably beaten by another Brit and as good as the fight was as a spectacle it could very easily have ended differently.

Billy-Joe Saunders knows damn well he isn't fit to fight either Alvarez or Golovkin but what else is there for him to enable him to say he's the main man.

Even Carl Froch in recent times can say he was never disgraced in a ring and showed his mettle against Taylor and Groves and fought everyone. We've got world champs who can't say that and know bloody well they will lose their belt first time they have to really face a test.

Some of thw best boxers walking the earth at the moment in no particular order and nor is it restricted to

Lomachencko
Kovalev
Ward
Gonzalez
Linares
Crawford
Golovkin
Alvarez
Rigondeux
Thurman

I don't see a British fighter that beats any of them except maybe Khan being quicker than Thurman but I seriously rate Keith Thurman and it would need him on a bad night and Khan on his best

No British fighter lives with @Carter list in any shape or form.

Yeah, defended the title for a very long time, and its only Marco Huck with the benefit of some veru shady decisions who overtook him, granted he could send you to sleep but he was excellent at what he did
